 Crèche en la cathédrale de ROUEN - (2009)

Every year the Rouen Cathedral has a very well presented crib to remember the birth of Jesus.

.  This French word “crèche”, comes from the Latin word cripia, meaning manger. 
From it we find the words used in various languages
for the little bed of Our Lord's Nativity: crib,  krippe, krubba, szopka, and  wertep.
