HISTORY
An opportunity to travel back in time to the period of Jesus.
Around 800 extras bring to life to this story, always old, yet always new. An area of around 30.000 m2 is filled with over 90 settings that trace back to the Egyptian, Jewish, Roman, Assyrian, Greek and Babylonian cultures.
We can find various crafts that existed during the period of Jesus, such as smiths forging and tempering iron, shoemakers and cobblers repairing old sandals, sawyers cutting wood, peasants organising their work tools, weavers on their looms weaving woollen yarns, potters moulding clay, bakers kneading dough and many more crafts which, among others from the same time, are represented by the settings of this Nativity scene. One of the settings portrays the family of Nazareth being a family, despite the shadows of their time...
In the houses of the Jewish and Roman villages, visitors will be able to enjoy a vast gastronomical offer: the bread of Caesar, mead, posca (drink composed of water mixed with vinegar that the soldiers gave to Jesus on the crucifix), roasted chestnuts, água-pé (drink similar to piquette), coffee in a pot, Jewish pastries, Roman bread, sour cherry liqueur, Roman pastries and also the famous Abade de Priscos pudding.
The Live Nativity Scene in Priscos offers its visitors 4 great shows: the Jewish Wedding, the Procession of the Light, the Judgement and the Burial. One of the biggest attractions at this Christmas event are the animals, which offer a great opportunity for interaction. However, the greatest star of this Nativity set is the cave, over 10 meters wide, where you can find the biblical figures of Mary, Joseph, Jesus, the cow and the donkey.
The settings were passionately and expertly created by inhabitants of Priscos and the prisoners of the prison establishment of Braga, who offered their time, abilities and skills to bring to life the event that changed the world’s history.
This Nativity scene is the perfect place to make a wish. Every year someone makes a wish – to be more and to be better, not just for oneself, but for all humanity, sometimes so dark and cold and so in need of more light, warmth and kindness...
