The Tenerife Cabildo yesterday inaugurated the traditional nativity scene that every year is located at the main entrance of the Insular Palace and that can be visited until next January 6, 2022, following all the security measures against COVID-19 and with capacity limited.
The island president explained that “this nativity scene is the recognition of tradition; we want to value everything that takes us to past generations, and it is a good opportunity to do so, with a custom that is part of our culture and tradition ”.
“With this act we welcome Christmas,” said the president, and “we do so with the confidence that next year we will finally have turned the page in this pandemic. I hope that the people of Tenerife and Tenerife enjoy this artistic work, and also the thousands of people who will visit us in the next few days, ”added the island president.
The nativity scene will remain open every day, from 09:00 to 15:00 and from 16:00 to 21:30, except on December 24 and 31, when the hours will be from 09:00 to 15:00, and on December 25, January 1 and January 6 , from 4:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
The installation, which occupies 25 square meters, is characterized by its biblical style, also called Hebrew or Palestinian, whose landscapes, characters and furnishings reveal the customs that existed in Palestine at the time of Christ’s birth. In it you will be able to appreciate each and every one of the intricacies, corners, stairs, fountain and endless different perspectives of this historical representation of the city. The opening ceremony was attended by, in addition to the president of the Cabildo of Tenerife, Pedro Martín, the nativity scene man Jesús Gil and the technician emeritus of the Casa Lercaro Museum of History and coordinator of the Nativity scenes of the Cabildo, Juan de la Cruz, as well as representatives of the political groups of the Cabildo.
The author explained that “this year we present a closed nativity scene, with a dullness like a theater, the best way to make the staging as real as possible”.
