The Christmas manger is one of the oldest traditions and loved by Colombians.

From the small ones, which are placed in the houses, to the largest and most innovative, which are assembled in parks and squares to be visited by families. There are also very Colombian versions of this Christmas tradition, in which, for example, dolls have typical costumes of the country (Colombia.co). In some cities the country for the novenas are made human representations of the manger, which creates in the attendees a whole Christmas atmosphere and historical the birth of Jesus.
