A nativity exhibition that extends through the entire village: in the historic lanes of San Paolo | Appiano, beautiful handmade nativity scenes in a wide variety of styles can be discovered. Displayed behind windows, in bay windows and small niches of the historic houses around the impressive “Cathedral in the Countryside”, they turn the village into a unique Advent walk. The experience is particularly atmospheric in the afternoon, when the nativity scenes are illuminated.

The highlight is the living nativity scene: on selected Advent Sundays, Mary and Joseph, accompanied by angels, shepherds and the Three Kings, make their way through the historic lanes of San Paolo to the stable in front of the parish church. Real sheep and goats are part of the procession, bringing the Christmas story to life in a particularly authentic way. A memorable Advent experience for the whole family. 🎄
