Bethlehem f’Ghajnsielem opens on 10 December 2017
The ninth edition of Bethlehem f’Ghajnsielem opens on Sunday, 10th December until Sunday, 7th January 2018.
The nativity village is situated adjacent to the Għajnsielem main square, on the island of Gozo, just 5 minutes by walk from Mgarr Harbour. Appropriately called “Bethlehem f’Għajnsielem”, this life-size crib, constructed on 20,000 square metre (sqm) of fields on a stretch of land known as Ta’ Passi, comes to life during the month of December with about 150 actors taking visitors back in time to Judea of 2000 years ago.
The atmosphere will simply be unique… horses turn mills, villagers go about their jobs, shepherds inhabit caves, animals roam in enclosed spaces and a poor unknown couple tend their newly-born in a grotto… It promises to bring the timeless Christmas story to life as never before.
