I think this Nativity scene is part of one of the most interesting facades in La Antigua... is it on a church with two facades? noo... that is the Church of San Pedro that I am thinking about... good God I need to have a vacation in La Antigua (where is not minus something right now) and refresh my Baroque architecture knowledge...

Although there are different ways to set up a Nacimiento. If I remember correctly, my parents used to set up the Nacimiento with Los Tres Reyes Magos as well...although their official day is the 6th of January, which at our house was sort of the signal to start putting away all of our Christmas decorations. I should backtrack though and state that the Baby Jesus was put in his spot within the Nacimiento after we came back from the Misa de Gallo.
