About Living Nativity Le Grazie

Between Christmas and Epiphany, the historic Parco Le Grazie in Terni transforms into a large living nativity scene. Over a hundred costumed performers, recited scenes, and animals recreate the Nativity in a suggestive path immersed in greenery, guiding visitors through a collective story that brings back the authentic meaning of Christmas. An event promoted by the Confraternity of San Giuseppe and San Francesco di Paola, attracting thousands of visitors to the heart of Umbria.

The Nativity in the historic park

The Living Nativity at Parco Le Grazie is one of the most beloved Christmas events in Terni. In the evocative historic city park, over a hundred costumed performers bring to life a path of recited scenes, ancient crafts, and animals, recreating the atmosphere of the Nativity in a green setting.

A collective story

The initiative is described by the organizers as a collective story involving volunteers, actors, and families, with the aim of bringing visitors closer to the authentic meaning of Christmas. The public is guided in controlled groups along the different stations of the nativity scene, in a participatory and emotionally impactful experience.

Community and tradition

Promoted by the Confraternity of San Giuseppe and San Francesco di Paola in collaboration with the Municipality of Terni, USL Umbria 2, Vivi Terni, and various local associations, the living nativity scene is also an occasion for community gathering. A craft market accompanies the path, showcasing the traditions and products of the Terni area.
