Presépio is Portuguese for "Nativity Scene". Follow along as we build this year's version of a long family tradition. Mai e Pai (Mom & Dad, in Portuguese) started this tradition with just a few figurines bought in a Paris airport, to hundreds of pieces lovingly collected or hand-crafted over the decades and across two continents.

The wise men are slightly delayed...
Watch the video to see why!

    I'm going to try this again, I think I was so overwhelmed with the enchanting singing of the Village People in that superb film that I was a bit overcome...hence I deleted my first post...

    I want to commend the videographer once again, as well as the participants for their impressive creativity - the large cloud covered being, possibly a visitor from the Middle East who'd made his way to the Presépio, was definitely one of the highlights for me!

    In addition, I have to say that the train shots - the panning and all - gave me a feeling of really being there! I felt as though I were on that train and as though I were on a mission...which put me in mind of one of my old favorite train movies: The Train (I hope the hyperlink attempt works this time) with Burt Lancaster and Paul Scofield.

    All who are able to visit The Village in person shall not be disappointed!
