Nativity scenes bring emotion, tradition and spirituality to Andujar Christmas

The tradition of exposing nativity scenes is still latent and alive in Andújar, to the delight of the population and visitors who see how the purity of Christmas is maintained.

Miguel Martínez has been setting up his for three decades in the halls of the Divina Pastora parish, except for the parenthesis of the pandemic and some health setbacks. He was also at the Teatro Principal for two years. Its nativity scene stands out for its 700 figures and its play of lights and the richness of fauna and vegetation and the recreation of trades, along with the birth of Jesus.

Antonio Crespo exhibits it again at the Hotel Oleum in Andújar, with the works sculpted by the wise and expert hands of the famous sculptor Manuel López, making them unique pieces.

This year, the nativity scene made by hand by the mother of the Congregation of San José de la Montaña, Pilar Llori, at the San Juan de Dios residence based on dedication and affection, has been increased and is causing a sensation due to the lighting of its fountains and the recreation of several evangelical scenes. It also winks at those affected by DANA in Valencia.

The exhibition hall of the House of Culture hosts an artistic display of nativity scenes, where various facets such as painting and sculpture stand out.
