Like Jack I'm not religious but like the Christmas scenes and especially Christmas carols. But whenever visiting someplace I always visit the churches just to admire their architecture.
I don't recall seeing a creche thingy inside of a church before...here it looks up against the back wall. Very interesting. I guess in the first shot Mary hasn't given birth yet, 'cause baby Jesus seems to have gone missing.
Oops. I meant to respond to your comment on Ocala: That Santa was pretty disheveled. His beard was dull gray and scraggly and as he walked away his robe was open showing his regular clothes underneath. I would have fired him! :)

Those windows are great!
Even though I am not a religious person, I love creche scenes. I have one French creche set in Hartford and an Italian set in Naples.
Beautiful work, and it's in such a stunning location!
Love the windows.

That is a beautiful nativity in a wonderful setting.
I so remember the beautiful créches in France when I spent the winters there. Lovely!
Creche scenes certainly bring out the Christmas spirit in many people!
They look to be almost life-size. Yes?
@ Jack and Dave: I'm not religious either but I enjoy everything in churches, as well as religious music and art...
@ Birdman: no, not quite. A bit smaller.
They are well dressed.
Not a fan of these things, but these are really lovely!

Happy Holidays!

Looks wonderful Ciel, even better when you see the bigger picture.
Hope he isn't late for the big day!
Huge!
@ Llandudno: I have no doubt he'll be there on the 25th!
What a lovely scene they have recreated. I appreciate the closeup and also the wider view with the stained glass!
