To mark the 800th anniversary of the death of Francis of Assisi, nine volunteers from the Zug-Walchwil Pastoral Region have created unique nativity figures under the artistic direction of woodcarver Daniel Züsli. The figures, which are about one meter tall, were carved from wood with great attention to detail.
On December 5, the St. Francis Nativity Scene will be ceremonially unveiled on Postplatz in Zug. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn more from the artists about the creation of the figures and their significance in the Christmas story. Atmospheric musical performances and warming punch will provide a festive start to the Advent season.
