What you’ll learn
For Spaniards, assembling the nativity scene is like decorating the Christmas tree. Join Tour Director Manuel for this virtual experience as he shows off his own nativity scene and explains the cultural significance behind this practice. This live experience will take you into his home in Spain as you learn about the Christian tradition of assembling a nativity scene. True nativity scenes in Spain include not only the cradle with Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, but also a whole host of people who have their own backstories and traditions. Celebrate Christmas the Spanish way by gathering around the nativity with Manuel during this virtual experience. Then, learn more about the tours we offer to this region.
