✨The Krippenspiel — a children’s nativity play — is one of the most beloved Christmas traditions in Germany. 🎄 Its roots date back to the Middle Ages, but it’s still a highlight of Christmas Eve: for kids who perform it, and for families who come to watch. ⛪ Across Germany, these plays fill churches with music, nostalgia and togetherness, even among people who rarely attend church otherwise. 👇 Are nativity plays a thing where you grew up?
