To set up the crib ( or creche) it is an art . An art that is slow, patient and passionate .
The crib will be set up , and then after almost 2 montfs go back into the cupboards : a long period of sleep before a rebirth at the following christmas
So to make a creche you need :
mass from the wood
santons : holy family and the Pantheon of the santons of Provence
the background : building, painting despiting a landscape
some accesories :brige, fountains , "oratoire"
Well and on the beautiful night between the 24 th and the 25 th , The littlle Jesus will be there too
Joyeux Noël Melanie!!!! i wish you a very merry christmas!

Melanie,
Thanks for the peek. Now I need to find a painted backdrop scene from Provence to set behind our creche! ;)
Joyeux Noel ma cher.

It looks beautiful.
I have a few santons which I bought in Provence a few years ago.
Merry Christmas.
