MALTA: Gozo-Bethlehem in Ghajnsielem (Spirit of Christmas)

MALTA: Gozo - Bethlehem in Ghajnsielem (Spirit of Christmas)

We recently visited the beautiful island of Gozo and amongst others, we went to see "Bethlehem in Ghajnsielem" and were very impressed by what we saw and we'd like to share these photos and videos with you all.

"Bethlehem in Ghajnsielem" is a large living crib spanning 20,000 sq meters of fields and buildings bringing the timeless Christmas story to life as never before. The atmosphere was simply unique. The area has been changed into a large living crib, where horses turn mills, villagers go about their jobs, shepherds inhabit caves, animals roam in enclosed spaces and a poor unknown couple tend their newly-born in a grotto.

This is the 2nd edition of "Bethlehem in Ghajnsielem". In 2008, it attracted over 60,000 visitors.
The event is sponsored by the Ghajnsielem Local Council and managed by Mr Franco Ciangura who is assisted by several volunteers from leading village organizations. This year's edition builds on what was achieved last year. It's worth visiting. Prosit Franco and volunteers.

"Feliz Navidad" and "Long time ago in Bethlehem" are played by Ron Crandlemere of Alberta, Canada.
