The largest living nativity scene in Europe. It's a journey back to the time of Jesus, with around 800 participants, through 90 scenes that bring to life a story that is always old and always new.

          Considered to be the largest Living Nativity Scene in Europe, it has been organized since 2006 and attracts tens of thousands of visitors to the ancestral Priscense pass each year. It was born with the aim of bringing the people of the community together and spreading the true meaning of Christmas.

          The Priscos Living Nativity Scene takes place during the Christmas festive season near the church and parish residence, with the main aim of strengthening the feeling of togetherness among its participants, transforming the people of Priscos into a true community.

          It is an exercise in deep commitment to communion and personal balance, in intimacy between ourselves and others, an exercise in searching for that “secret code” of “people who relate to people” in the never-ending quest for happiness. It's a project open to all faiths, because every human being is looking for their own road, their own path, their own happiness and meaning in life.
