Christmas: "Belenes".

Hello everybody, today I am going to talk about a very old tradition in our country, the "belenes". I am going to explain and to let you know the different types of "belenes" that you can find around Spain.

Around Spain you can see different types of "belenes", one of them is the traditional one composed by figures  and this is the one that the people put in their respective houses. The main figures are: The baby Jesus, the virgin Mary and José but there are also a lot of more figures in a belen. Almost all of the families have one belen in their houses at christmas.

The other type of "belen" is the living belen and it is made of humans that wear specific dresses. There are carpenters, peasants, and quite a lot more. It is very nice to go and see living belenes in different types of places. It has been always a very old tradition in our country.

In conclusion, I think that it will be a very good experience for all of you and you will know how we celebrate and decorate houses  in christmas and the traditions that  we have so merry christmas!

note: this wednesday you will have in my blog different images of the best beelines of Seville.
