Christmas at Mendelu
For the celebrations of Christmas, Mary Mother of God and the Epiphany, the Parish of St Michael Garicoits at Mendelu, Spain, set up the traditional Living Nativity scenes.
The catechism children and the confirmation boys and girls were part of this event.
The theme for this Nativity scenes was inspired by the problem concerning the immigrants who very often lose their life while crossing the sea in order to reach Europe.
For this reason, the traditional crib of Bethlehem was replaced by a boat, in remembrance of all those who lost their lives at sea.
In those days there was no room for Jesus and today there is no place for the immigrants.
