Recreation of the Nativity sceneIn every house, people re-create the stable where Jesus was born. The Nativity scene is built with moss, straw, vegetation and pieces of pottery at the beginning of
Advent.
Baby Jesus is placed in the Christmas crib only after the midnight Mass (the Mass of the Rooster).
