Other Christmas Activities

Levende kerststal

Visitors can experience the Christmas story with Joseph, Mary, baby Jesus, and real animals, guided by a storyteller. An illuminated walk around the church brings encounters with shepherds, angels, the innkeeper, and potentially the Three Wise Men. Inside the church, a choir performs music while children take part in Christmas crafts, and outside on the church square guests can gather around a crackling fire with warm drinks.
