Live Crib in Carndonagh

Donegal's only Live Crib takes place in Carndonagh on Sunday, 23rd December between 6pm - 7pm and it is still not too late to take part.

A huge number of volunteers are already making preparations for costumes, stable construction, musical rehearsals etc. Families with new babies will represent the Holy Family and local personalities are gearing up to become Wise Men and Shepherds, while children from all the local national schools will play angels. Many local musicians and singers have already offered their services but we would gladly include anyone else who would be interested in participating. But the organisers are looking for even more community involvement by asking adults and children to dress up as nativity characters and join the Lantern Procession which is a new feature this year.

The Live Crib will commence with the procession leading the Holy Family from the Diamond to the stable which will be located at the entrance to the Church grounds. To join in, simply come along to the Diamond at 5.45pm. Please note that children will be the responsibility of their parents/guardians.

They are also seeking a young lamb to add to the other live animals which will form part of the scene. Last year, one of the highlights of the event was the new born lamb which was only a few hours old. If you can help in any way, please contact any committee member or ring Ailish at 074 9374938.
