It is Spanish tradition to make a recreation of Belem during the Christmas. The three Wise men offer the presents to Jesus.
One friend has won the prize in the village this year.

that's really cool. nice to know some place in the world remembers what Christmas is for!
in the US you don't do it? i thought it's a christian tradition. hundreds of them are made across our country, some are exhibited throuought the year, and the number and size of them is growing every year. there are even "live ones" .
nice to see this from other parts of the world, all of ours are "green" hehe

We will use the watering cane next time and any reindeers. :-D
in the US there is a very vocal minority who have worked very hard to keep anything "Christian" out of view. they do not want any public grounds or buildings to display Christian Christmas decorations. some even want Christmas trees removed. of course other religions and celebrations are fine. it comes from a gross misinterpretation of the 1st amendment to our constitution which reads;
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Yea, they don't get the difference between freedom of and freedom from[/] :roll:
That is the Oasis fort from Enemy Territory, very realistic!
