Pope Francis and the Family Nativity Tradition

The Pope wishes to encourage the beautiful family tradition of preparing the Nativity scene in the days before Christmas, As children, we learn from our parents and grandparents to carry on this joyful tradition… It is my hope that this custom will never be lost and that, wherever it has fallen into disuse, it can be rediscovered and revived… Francis described a creche scene as a simple and admirable sign of the Christian faith.
