Christmas Crib
View through Europeana Collections
Christmas cribs were used for private worship at home, and in cloisters and churches too. On Christmas day, a crib was placed on the high altar and churchgoers would bring their own cribs. As the priest shook the crib and began to sing, the congregation would join in. The church would fill with the sound of Christmas carols and the chimes of the bells attached to the cribs.
