A theatrical re-enactment. The new edition of the living nativity scene of Tarquinia, which returns to the evocative setting of the convent of San Francesco, will present to the public various scenes acted by actors from local theater schools who, together with the extras, will animate the splendid scenography of the event. The court of King Herod, the Sanhedrin with the priests, the moment of the shepherds announcing the birth of Jesus, moments of daily life in the inns, among the market stalls and in the Roman camp will be discussed.

The inaugural date is the traditional one of December 26th. The nativity scene will then return on 30 December and 6 January 2024, with the grand finale of the arrival of the Three Kings on camel back, who will travel through the streets of the historic center of Tarquinia accompanied by a sumptuous procession.

The performance has the support and patronage of the Municipality of Tarquinia and is carried out in collaboration with the San Martino neighborhood committee and the Association of elderly people with the hobby of modeling. The Lazio Region, the Province of Viterbo and the Diocese of Civitavecchia-Tarquinia sponsor the living nativity scene. You can follow the updates on the dedicated Facebook page and Instagram profile.
