Live Nativity

Date To Be Announced

Did you know that St. Francis of Assisi staged the very first Nativity scene in 1223? After visiting the actual birthplace of Jesus in Bethlehem, he returned home to Greccio, Italy and requested permission from Pope Honorius III to recreate the scene so that more could understand how it all began.

Each year, Saint Francis Healthcare System recreates the scene of Jesus’ birth with its annual outdoor Live Nativity. More details on this year’s Live Nativity coming soon.
