Description: The Nativity Scene (szopka) tradition in Krakow is a practice originating from Christmas celebration customs focused on constructing cribs. The szopka is a lightweight construction featuring the nativity scene surrounded by representations of houses and monuments of Krakow. Other scenes are also represented depicting historical, cultural and contemporary social events. On the first Thursday of December, makers gather on Krakow Main Square to present the results of their work. The practice has important educational functions, passing on knowledge about the history of the city, its architecture and customs.
