He placed a small figure of the small Jesus inside and placed living animals – an ox and a donkey – beside it. That was at the beginning of the 13th century in the Italian village of Greccio. Since then, cribs have been placed regularly inside and in front of churches.

Moving crib in Piasek

Every parish can boast its own crib during Christmas. The most famous crib, which we can watch not only during Christmas, but also for the rest of the year, is a moving crib in the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Piasek.

Christmas carol concerts

Alicja Majewska, Olga Bończyk, Łukasz Zagrobelny and Włodzimierz Korcz are extremely sensitive and greatly capable of producing the most sublime of feelings in their audience.

Magic is the best word to describe the traditional Piwnica pod Baranami Christmas concert, the title itself embracing the audience in a mysterious, winter-like and magical feel.

Feel free to join the NFM Boys’ Choir and the Con Brio Choir from the Grażyna Bacewicz Music School in Wrocław for a gleeful Christmas carol show at the National Forum of Music.
