The special beauty and spirit of this year's holidays is brought by the Nativity Festival, which will take place from December 21st to January 6th in the spirit of tradition, faith and the magic of Christmas. Along with the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the focus is on the richness of Cres' sacral heritage, when numerous small churches, often hidden from busy views, come to full effect as beautiful stages for the Christmas story.
