Nativity scene competition for families and individual parishioners

The year 2023 marks the 800th anniversary of the day Saint Francis of Assisi set up the first nativity scene in the town of Greccio. To mark this occasion, the Franciscans are organising a nativity scene competition for families and individual parishioners. By 7 January 2024, entrants must send no more than five photographs of their nativity scene to the competition committee, organised by the Franciscan Family, at nhope191268@gmail.com.   Please state the number of participants (if it is a family), as well as your full name, age, town, parish and diocese. If you wish, you may include with your photographs some reflections on St Francis’s first nativity scene and on your own nativity scene.
