Making of Cribs

　　制作圣誕馬槽

　　This is yet another age-old tradition of Christmas. A crib refers to the Nativity Scene that is prepared using small statues. The first crib ever was made outside a church of St. Francis of Assisi for children to show them how the Nativity scene was like. Since then, this tradition became very popular.

　　這也是一個古老的圣誕習俗。人們用小雕像和馬槽營造耶穌誕生的場景。第一個馬槽建在圣法蘭西斯一所教堂外面，意在向孩子們展示耶穌誕生的場景。從那以后這個習俗便一直流傳了下來。

　　These traditions have been carried out for decades, yet they are celebrated with more and more exuberance each year. The level of excitement has never gone down. It just keeps getting better and better with time.

　　這些傳統(tǒng)沿襲已有幾十年，一年比一年熱鬧，盛況可謂有增無減。相信隨著時間的推移，人們對傳統(tǒng)習俗的熱情只會越來越高。
