The HOLY MANCER
"Presipio," Instead Of Christmas
Tree, in Italy and Spain.
II Is Representation OF the Place
Where Baby Christ Lay In
Bethlehem.

CIRLS and boys OF Italy and Spain.
~ which are called the Latin coun-
tries. never hang up their stockings
at Christmas time. nor do they have
Christmas trees. Kris Kringle and
Santa Claus are German saints and
the Christmas tree came out OF the
German forests long, long ago, when
the nations Of northern Europe were
forest tribes. II Ia the northern peo-
ples--the Germans. Scandinavians
and English. all OF whom are descend
Cd from old Teutonic tribes--who keep
Christmas as Americans do.
Instead Of the Christmas tree.
Italian and Spanish boys and girls
have the presipio. "Presipio" means
mangsr. and IL 10 a representation
OF the manger where the baby Christ
lay In Bethlehem. II is presented In
different ways, Sometimes it shows
only the inside OF the barn where the
Baby and His mother lay. with Jo-
seph. the Three Wise Men and the ami
mails about. Sometimes IL shows q
hillside. with the Wise Men coming on
foot or horseback. or on donkeys,
bringing their gifts to the stable. Some
times the manger Is smali--not more
than Q foot square. Sometimes II Is
large enough to occupy the whole end
OF a room. II II built on q board
foundation and is made of wood, with
earth. pebbles. dried grass and leaves
for the outdoor scenes. The figures
are carved Of wood. or perhaps little
dolls are used. all very carefully and
elaborateiy dressed by the girls. Some
times brooks and lakes are ingeniously
represented with naper. glass or
isinglass. Sometimes the whole is
rough and rude. but again II Is very
neatly and beautifully done. ana is
quaint and interesting when all COM
plste.
The French, who are half Latin and
half Teutonic In their makeup, mix
the customs OF both races In their
Christmas keeping. They build the
manger and they also give the chill
dren presents: only. instead OF hang
ing her stocking. little French Bah
ette puts out her shoes. The French
call the manger "creche." and In coun.
try villages IN France companies Of
children still 20 from house to house
on Christmas eve. carrying the creche
and singing Christmas carols. Some
times they help to build a beautiful
large creche In the village church. over
which they are very proud and de-
lighted.
