During the Christmas period, Matera transforms into a place suspended in time. The lights that are reflected on the ancient tuff walls, the scent of Lucanian traditions and the melodies of the holidays create a unique atmosphere, capable of enveloping every visitor in an authentic emotion.
It is in this enchanted setting that the famous Living Nativity Scene in the Sassi comes to life, an event that every year attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world. An experience that goes beyond simple re-enactment: it is a journey into the spirituality, art and history of a territory that for centuries has told the story of the birth of the Child through stone, light and faith.
The charm of the Living Nativity Scene: when history meets spirituality
Now in its fifteenth edition, the Living Nativity Scene of Matera is a symbol of peace and dialogue, an invitation to rediscover the universal values that unite peoples. The ancient streets of the Sassi come alive with evocative scenes, characters in costume and plays of light that transform the city into an open-air nativity scene.
Every step through the alleys becomes a meeting between past and present, faith and culture, emotion and beauty. Matera, once again, confirms itself as a natural stage in which the magic of Christmas blends with the evocative power of its landscape.
