Nativity scene
Christmas and St Stephen's Day are officially recognized holidays in Spain. In most of Spain, the Christmas period, referred to as "Navidad", lasts from Christmas Eve referred to as "Nochebuena" or "the Good Night." on December 24 to Epiphany on January 6. Many homes and most churches display a Nativity scene, a Christmas tree, or both. The "pesebre" (nativity scene) is present in many homes, schools and stores. On the 26th, "Sant Esteve" (Saint Stephen) is celebrated with a family gathering.
