Review of the March/April 1997 Yule Log
Feature Articles
A Christmas Tradition from Hungary - Barbara
Pusztai describes a Hungarian tradition which is illustrated on a piece of Hungarian
postal stationery. Children would construct a nativity scene from wood and cardboard. Then
the children would dress up as Shepherds and Kings and take their Nativity scene and visit
houses in the neighbourhood. At each home, the first King would ask "May we introduce
our Bethlehem?" If allowed in, with all standing around the Bethlehem Scene, each
child would tell his view of the Nativity story from his point of view as a shepherd or
king.
