Admire the unique and strange cave welcoming Christmas in Ke Gai Parish

Continuing the tradition of making large nativity scenes, this Christmas, Ke Gai Parish designed a unique nativity scene that is no less than previous years. This nativity scene is located right in front of the main gate to Ke Gai Parish Church. Photo: Huy Thu

Mr. Nguyen Van Nhien - the person who came up with the idea and directed the construction of the project said: This cave is made from more than 1,000 bamboo trees, 7,000 cement bags and many light bulbs and LED wires. The cave is 67m long, 15m high and 10m wide. Photo: Huy Thu

Compared to the 2020 cave of Ke Gai Parish, this year's cave is smaller, but no less attractive. The cave is designed with many spaces simulating the birth of the baby Jesus with diverse shapes, architecture, and landscapes. The lighting system and color scheme are also carefully installed, making the project quite prominent at night. Photo: Huy Thu

From bamboo, bamboo, cement bags and some familiar materials, the people of Ke Gai Parish have created an attractive and highly artistic work.

Many spaces and images on the cave such as the Nativity scene, the baby Jesus family, the choir... are designed to be dynamic thanks to the impressive and unique system of motors and tractors. Photo: Huy Thu

The Christmas nativity scene in Ke Gai Parish this year does not have many floors, paths up and down, and in and out like the nativity scene in previous years, but it is quite lively, with the miniatures all focused on the front of the cave.

Ke Gai Parish currently has 5 sub-parishes with 4,400 people. The parish started building the grotto on November 13 and completed it on the afternoon of December 16. Every day, the parish mobilizes about 25-30 people to participate in the labor. In the photo: Young people visiting the grotto enjoy taking photos on the reindeer sleigh. Photo: Huy Thu
