LIVING NATIVITY SCENE IN BALATA DI BAIDA AND CASTELLAMMARE

Written by Luca Sciacchitano - 07/12/2010

In Trapani the appointment with the tradition of the Nativity of Balata di Baida.

The "Living Nativity" is a moment of common life, a little over twenty years and soul joins the small community of Balata di Baida (village of Erice Castellammare del Golfo in the countryside) on the occasion of Christmas.
The "Living Nativity Balata di Baida," riroposto several times over the years, albeit not perfect continuity, this year presents new right and proper, while maintaining the look merely folklore and its value as evidence of Christian faith will be an opportunity to experience the event of Christmas with a mixture of simplicity and genuineness and openness to fellowship those who come from "outside".
It 'set in a very suggestive landscape setting, a small hamlet in the village, before crossing point between the Castle of Baida and the road to Trapani, and a few humble homes of peasants among prickly pear, sumac, olive trees and native plants, populated by a community anchored in the values of family, work, friendship and solidarity, is still deeply rooted in the consciousness of the inhabitants.
The crib with his paintings reminiscent of arts and crafts as well as the means to recall the centrality of the mystery of the Incarnation, the same origins of civilization, which are proudly linked the inhabitants of the small village.
