PRESEPE VIVENTE

The Presepe Vivente of Deiva Marina is a traditional representation of the Nativity that transforms this Ligurian coastal village into an authentic Bethlehem scene. Taking place on December 22nd from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the event features residents and visitors dressed in period costumes who recreate scenes and characters from the birth of Jesus, creating a suggestive and engaging atmosphere.

This event represents one of the most fascinating expressions of Italian Christmas tradition, where spirituality intertwines with community involvement and the valorization of local cultural heritage. The enchanting route winds through the village's narrow streets and squares, presenting specific scenes: the Annunciation, the journey to Bethlehem, arrival at the inn, the nativity scene in the cave, the visit of the shepherds, and the adoration of the Magi. Each scene is carefully arranged in the village's most characteristic locations.
