On Christmas Eve – the blessing of a Nativity Scene

Since the beginning of December at the square near Šiauliai City Municipality Šiauliai residents could admire traditional Nativity scene, which was displaying figures depicting the birth of Jesus Christ.


On Christmas Eve the figure of infant Jesus was brought from church to Nativity scene to rest in a manger, surrounded by figures of Mary, Joseph, shepherds and sheep.

Traditionally, the Nativity Scene was blessed by Šiauliai Bishop H.E. Eugenijus Bartulis.

Blessed Nativity Scene radiates peace and warmth, and reminds of the importance of Christian values and the true meaning of winter holidays.
