In the town of Manarola, on the western coast of northern Italy in the heart of the Cinque Terre National Park in Liguria, the world's largest Nativity scene was lit with Christmas lights this past December 8, continuing a local tradition.

The Manarola Nativity scene, which lights up the entire village for about a month, was created by Mario Andreoli, a now-retired railroad employee.
