The 2025–2026 edition of the Living Nativity of Pietrelcina is one of the most distinctive Christmas events in the Sannio area. Set within the evocative historic center of the village, the event leads visitors along a route that recreates everyday life of the past, through scenes of rural work, traditional crafts, and moments of domestic life.
All the performers are members of the local community, dressed in traditional clothing and animating the village spaces with simple, realistic gestures, creating a sober and deeply human narrative. The journey culminates in the scene of the Nativity, the spiritual heart of the event, experienced as a moment of reflection rather than a theatrical performance.
What sets the Living Nativity of Pietrelcina apart is the absence of elaborate stage effects: the strength of the event lies in the authenticity of the locations and the direct involvement of the residents, turning the Nativity into a true community experience. A collective story that weaves together faith, historical memory, and local identity.
