The Bible in the Park: When the Word Lives

From mid-December to the end of January, in Valderice, in the province of Trapani, The Bible in the park was staged, a very heartfelt and participated event, now in its twenty-fifth edition: «The only living crib in Italy that tells the Bible». The Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection will be voting in favor. The initiative ended on the occasion of the Sunday of the Word of God because one of its objectives is precisely to encourage familiarity with the Word. Valderice’s is not only a living crib in the strict sense of the term: alongside the traditional episodes of the birth of Jesus, ten other «living static pictures» represent other scenes of the story of the Old and New Testaments that narrate the history of salvation, connected with a theme chosen from year to year, which for the current edition is “fraternity”. Among the scenes you can admire stories of fraternal love such as the parable of the “Good Samaritan”, the wedding at Cana and the biblical stories of Jacob and Esau and Joseph and his brothers. All with 80 figures in period costumes. To learn more visit the website.
