The electrical materials used for a live nativity performance in Canosa di Puglia were stolen on December 29th by unknown thieves.

The organizers denounced the theft on social media:

"Our Living Nativity is simple, not for profit, but the sole purpose is to create an event that appeals and emotions, trying to enhance the territory and our resources. It is not easy to organize it, we try to do our best with what we have.

Unfortunately what is lacking in this citizenship is the understanding and honesty of a population that does not understand that stealing from the Living Nativity means stealing from themselves, the territory, their resources and their possibilities."
