Since Dec. 2, the faithful in Barranquilla, Colombia, have been able to visit the staging of “the largest Nativity scene in the world” where 90 actors interpret the moments before and after the birth of Jesus.
The Nativity scene is set up on an 18,000-square-meter park (about 4.5 acres) that in previous years has been installed in other Colombian cities such as Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali. The initiative began in 2010, promoted by Colombian Fabián Rojas, manager of Nativity World, the company in charge of the tours billed “the largest Nativity scene in the world.”
The company’s website notes it has been recognized four times by Guinness World Records: for being “the largest Nativity scene in the world” and for the “greatest number of figures in a Nativity scene” (Colombia 2010-2011), as well as for the “greatest number of good wishes” written by attendees on a “wailing wall” and the “greatest number of human replicas that move in a Nativity scene” (Mexico 2011-2012).
