The words szopka (crèche) and jaselka (nativity play) are something special to the people of Poland. While the Christmas crèche is something all Christians are familiar with, it is the Polish that identify with the szopka. Said to have originated with St.Francis of Assisi who was the first to set the Nativity tableau in 1223, the Franciscan monks brought the custom into Poland in the 13th century. The earliest of manger scenes were simple and portable, the first-ever being in St. Andrew’s church in Krakow. Slowly, monks took part in the nativity scenes themselves, and the only figurines used were those of animals and the infant. A living nativity was developed. As the szopka evolved, dialogue was introduced and peasants, students and artisans began taking the place of the monks. To bring in a national color, historical figures from local legends were added to the scenes. Many other Biblical figures like King Herod and the Holy Family started making appearances too. By the eighteenth century, the figures had become movable, with stick puppets and string marionettes being introduced. While all this was taking place at Church, the excitement had gotten out of hand as decided by the Bishop Teodor Czartoryski, who banned the plays from churches in 1736. Only immobile scenes were permitted in church, the live puppet shows being passed down to the people. This was the beginning of the szopka as it is known today. After undergoing several other transformations, and even being completely banned during the World War I, the tradition was revived again in 1923 in the city of Krakow. The decaying tradition was finally salvaged when the city’s municipal authorities announced the very first competition in December 1937. The competition has now become a holiday tradition every year, with a huge number of participants. #discoverpoland #discoverkrakow #magicalkrakow #everydaylifeinpoland #lifeinkrakow #krakowdaily #igerspoland #igerskrakow #christmas #szopkabożonarodzeniowa #szopka #nativity #nativityscene #feliznavidad #merrychristmas #wesolychswiat (at Kraków Mały Rynek) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXrJp1YonYb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Święta Bożego Narodzenia to wyjątkowy czas dla nas wszystkich. W naszym otoczeniu nie powinno zabraknąć tak ważnego elementu jakim jest szopka, która przypomina nam o całym zdarzeniu. W naszym wykonaniu wygląda ona tak ;) Przecudowna bożonarodzeniowa szopka 3 D z grawerowanymi postaciami. Całość wykonana ze sklejki 3 mm, w kolorze naturalnego drewna. Piękny i wyjątkowy design szopki przykuwa uwagę każdego, a już na pewno spodoba się dzieciom ;) . Może być cudownym prezentem lub upominkiem na Święta Bożego Narodzenia. Szopka może być również oświetlona lampkami Led od środka. Wówczas nadamy jej jeszcze bardziej atrakcyjniejszego wyglądu i będzie cudownym lampionem w naszym domu. https://jbsolutions-laser.com/produkt/szopka-3d-z-grawerowanymi-postaciami-no2/ #szopka #szopkabożonarodzeniowa #szopki #bozenarodzenie #wesołychświątbożegonarodzenia #swietabozegonarodzenia #narodzinyjezusa #ozdobyświąteczne #ozdobybożonarodzeniowe #dekoracjeswiateczne https://www.instagram.com/p/B5KMA_yFSLy/?igshid=1f7tjzammy5ny

🇵🇱 Maja jak zaczarowana. Ledwo dała się przekonać do wyjścia po ponad 1,5 godzinie spędzonej na oglądaniu ruchomej szopki w Tuchowie. 🇬🇧 Maja was enchanted. She wasn't willing to go home even after more than 1,5 hour spent watching a moving nativity scene in Tuchów, Poland. #ruchomaszopka #szopkabożonarodzeniowa #szopka #movingnativityscene #tuchow #bazylikawtuchowie #nativity #nativityscene #christmas #bozenarodzenie #newexperience #nowedoswiadczenie #enchanted #flabbergasted #amazed #narodzinyjezusa #jesusbirth https://www.instagram.com/p/B685UtPBmXT/?igshid=10bwzli7wrj6c
