St Anthony’s (Bradford) Each year the Sisters organise a Greccio live Crib. In 1221 Francis of Assisi had decided to celebrate Christmas in a new and special way. He brought a real ox and ass to the altar. The Sisters enact this event in the local Church (St Anthony’s). During the Christmas Carol service, the Congregation were able to to proceed past the stable and stroke the animals while a selection of carols were sung. Each family was given a card, specially designed for the occasion and the children of the parish left gifts that would be sent to the Franciscan Mission in Peru and the Earthquake victims in Pakistan.
