The Cult and Evolution of the Baroque Neapolitan Crib Lecture

Throughout Christmas-time, the St John’s Co-Cathedral installs an 18th century Neapolitan crib in the Chapel of the Epiphany, also known as the Chapel of Germany. This year, the Foundation is hosting a thematic lecture by Rev Mgr Dr Edgar Vella on The Cult and Evolution of the Baroque Neapolitan Crib. Discover the fascinating history of the Neapolitan presepe - an 18th-century nativity tradition that brings together craftsmanship, symbolic figures, and a reflection of Neapolitan life.
