Recipe for an Algarvian Nativity Scene

When you have guests, do not be offended if some items are removed, as this is an honour. You could also gift fruit from the Nativity scene to important and dear people that come to visit, namely your God-children.

 Ingredients:

  • Decorative grain sprouts
  • Oranges
  • Tangerines
  • Candles
  • Figure of the God-child
  • Flowers
  • Pomegranates
  • Carob pods
  • Almonds
  • Embroidered cloths

Preparation of the cereal sprouts:

  • On December 8th, place some grains (wheat, corn, oats, rye, linseed or chickpea) in small containers, keeping them moist, in or out of sun light.

Compose a pyramidal set of steps with the possible number of levels on top of chosen cabinet. 

Cover pyramid with embroidered or lace towel. 

Dispose sprouts, oranges, tangerines and candles alternately on the lower level, as the blessing of the God-child to seeding and fruit trees.

Repeat on levels above, excepto on the last one, where you must place the figure of the God-child.

You can complement the decoration with flowers, pomegranates, carob pods, almonds or embroidered cloths, to your liking.

The candles must be light at night time.

When you have guests, do not be offended if some items are removed, as this is an honour. You could also gift fruit from the Nativity scene to important and dear people that come to visit, namely your God-children.
