Belenes are traditional Spanish nativity scenes that depict the birth of Jesus Christ. They often include figurines representing the Holy Family, shepherds, and various animals, all set in a detailed landscape. These scenes can be found in homes, churches, and public spaces, especially during the Christmas season. The art of creating Belenes dates back to the 13th century and has evolved over time. Many regions in Spain have their own unique styles and customs associated with these displays. Some Belenes are simple, while others are elaborate, featuring intricate details and even moving parts.
