Galway cathedral to host live crib

Galway cathedral parish’s annual live crib will take place at the city’s cathedral on Tuesday, December 16 from 11.30am to 4pm.

This Christmas tradition is performed by members of the cathedral parish and families from the city and county who play Mary, Joseph, the infant Jesus and shepherds, with choirs from local schools singing Christmas carols. For the last 15 years, the live crib has brought hundreds of visitors to the cathedral. The crib consists of a traditional nativity scene set among live animals in a specially constructed life-size crib.

“We welcome all ages, schools, communities and religions to come visit our live crib which brings the story of Christmas to life,” said Fr Peter Rabbitte PP.

The crib is located outside the Salmon Weir entrance to the cathedral and admission free. For more information, log onto www.galwaycathedral.ie
