A unique opportunity to travel to the time of Jesus.
There are around 800 participants who bring to life an old and always new story. Covering around 30,000 m2 and with more than 90 scenes, the Priscos Nativity Scene includes references to Egyptian, Jewish, Roman, Assyrian, Greek and Babylonian cultures.
Many of the trades that existed in Jesus’ time are not missing: blacksmiths forging and tempering iron, the shoemaker repairing broken sandals, sawyers cutting firewood, peasants arranging work tools, the weaver at the loom throwing threads of wool, the potter molding the clay, the baker kneading the bread dough, among many other scenes of the time, and, of course, the family of Nazaré being a family in the face of the shadows of their time…
Visitors can enjoy a wide range of gastronomic options, available in the various houses of the “villages of the Jews and the Romans”. You can taste “Caesar’s bread”, “mead”, “posca”, roasted chestnuts, foot water, coffee in a pot, Jewish sweets, Roman bread, sour cherries, sweets from Rome and the famous “Abbot of Priscos”.
