Greccio, the village of the crib

Let’s discover Greccio, a charming village in Sabina, considered one of Italy’s most beautiful jewels! This small town is not only a place to visit, but a true spiritual and cultural experience rooted in the history of Christianity.

In this video we will tell the story of the village, famous for being chosen by St. Francis of Assisi in 1223 to perform the first representation of the Nativity. In this magical place, the saint wanted to recreate the scene of Jesus’ birth, giving birth to a tradition that would later spread throughout the world. Here, among the verdant hills and silent woods, the atmosphere and spirituality of that unique moment can still be felt today. You will discover the places where St. Francis lived and prayed, and you can immerse yourself in the tradition of the nativity scene, which each year attracts visitors from every corner of the world.
