A Putz is a large diorama using figures and landscapes to depict the story of Jesus’ birth. Originally, the purpose was to convey the story of Jesus to people- and especially children- who could not read or write. It is a tradition that dates back to St. Francis of Assisi: and, unlike a creche, which depicts only Jesus’ birth, The Putz depicts the events prior to, and following His birth. Our diorama has a soundtrack to accompany the scriptures.
