The largest Christmas Nativity scene in Europe for 2020 is set up in Thessaloniki, northern Greece.
The impressive construction is the creation of famous Greek artist, Vasilis Michailides, and is located inside the Cultural Center of a well-known hotel in Thessaloniki, where people can visit it by practicing social-distancing measures.
The facade of the Nativity scene is approximately 15 metres in length, covering a total area of about 50 square metres.
What makes the scene unique is that it does not only include the Holy Family, the angels, the three wise men, the animals and the shepherds, but also the palace of Herod and the scene where Archangel Gabriel offered a lily to the Virgin Mary.
