Christmas Tour Christmas at the Vatican St- Peter's Basilica
The Nativity Scene and the Tree at the Vatican represents one of the most symbolic events for Rome and for the Christian world to mark the advent of Christmas. It was in 1982, when Pope John Paul II started the tradition of the Tree in St Peters Square. Next to the tree at the foot of the obelisk stands the great presepe, which is designed new every year. Visit the wonderful Vatican museums in the Christmassy environment and seeing Nativity displays from all over the world. Explore the breath-taking St Peters Basilica at this most wonderful time of year. Not far away, in Piazza Cavalleggeri, is the permanent nativity scene of the Roman garbage collectors, which is visited with affectionate esteem and has been admired by over 2 million people, including Benedict XVI, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Paul VI and John Paul II, who never missed the traditional Christmas appointment with the Roman garbage collectors.
