Galway Cathedral is inviting the public to experience its annual Live Crib on Tuesday, 16th December, from 11:30 am to 4:00 pm.
The living tableau features parishioners portraying the Holy Family and shepherds, alongside real farm animals, while local school choirs fill the air with Christmas carols.
Fr. John Gerard Acton of Galway Cathedral says “ we carry so much in our hearts – grief, worry, loneliness, the struggle of simply trying to get through each day. As we conclude this Jubilee Year of Hope, the Live Crib speaks directly to those burdens. In that manger, we find a promise: that even in our darkest moments, we are seen, we are loved, and we are never abandoned.”
The Live Crib will be located at the Salmon Weir Bridge entrance. Admission is free, and all are welcome.
