In Italy, the presepe isn’t complete until midnight on Christmas Eve 🤍
That’s why, if you look closely at nativity scenes before Christmas, Baby Jesus is missing.
He’s only placed in the presepe at midnight - traditionally by the youngest member of the family - marking the official beginning of Christmas Day.
This is a traditional Neapolitan presepe, full of everyday life details… even a pizza oven!
Buon Natale ✨
