PUA On Nov. 12, 2023, at 1:30 p.m., Prof. Martín Carbajo Núñez will give a lecture at Mission San Luis Rey (Oceanside, USA) on the topic, "The Nativity Scene of St. Francis at Greccio: Its relevance 800 years later (1223-2023)."

This talk is intended as a contribution to the celebration of the eighth centenary of Francis of Assisi's Nativity scene in Greccio, in 1223. It is generally considered that this celebration gave rise to “the enchanting image of the Christmas crèche” and to the “intense spiritual atmosphere that surrounds Christmas”. In addition to offering some historical notes, this article relates it to various themes of the Franciscan theological tradition and reflects on its relevance for today's society.
