Christmas in the Benedictushof of Egmond Abbey
From 15 November to 6 January, the Benedictushof will be decked out in Christmas decorations.
Today, the official opening will take place at 10:30 a.m. by Father Abbot Thijs Ketelaar. In addition, there will be a presentation of the prayer book about nativity scenes, in which prominent Christians have described their favourite figure in the nativity scene and what they like to pray about that figure. A number of the authors will be present at the presentation, including Isabella Wijnberg, Gerard Mathijsen, Rob Hoogenboom, and Juliëtte van Deursen.
The Benedictushof at Egmond Abbey has been transformed into one large, atmospheric exhibition of nativity scenes, in the year that we celebrate Francis building the first living nativity scene 800 years ago in Greccio. Once again, nativity scenes from all over the world will be on display (and for sale).
Open Tuesday to Saturday from 11:00 to 16:30, except public holidays, 31 December and 2 January
