Edition 2025 — Living Nativity of Sant'Eusanio

The 2025 edition of the Living Nativity of Sant'Eusanio del Sangro, the 47th in its history, took place on December 30, 2025. Organized by the Pro Loco, the sacred pageant involved over three hundred costumed shepherds, drawing more than a thousand visitors from across Abruzzo to relive the moments of Jesus' birth amidst lights, music, fires, and torches on the hill.

The 47th edition (2025)

On December 30, 2025, Sant'Eusanio del Sangro (CH) hosted the 47th edition of its historic Living Nativity. The event, organized by the Pro Loco, confirmed its enduring appeal: over three hundred participants in traditional costumes brought the scenery along the historic center and the Fontepaludi area to life.

As is tradition, the most emotional moment was the shepherds' descent toward the manger, accompanied by fires and torches that illuminated the hill. Food and wine stalls managed by local associations were also present, while two artistic Nativity scenes remained on display throughout the Christmas period.
