Les crèches dans le Tyrol du Sud
Tous les ans, une coutume de Noël vieille de plusieurs siècles se répète dans le Tyrol du Sud. Peu avant la veille de Noël - les enfants ont depuis longtemps déjà fait part de leurs souhaits de cadeaux par lettre à l'enfant Jésus - les habitants du Tyrol du Sud sortent les crèches de la cave ou du grenier.
Toute la famille se met ensuite au travail pour installer la bonne pièce. La plupart du temps, les crèches du Tyrol du Sud sont des objets hérités et fabriqués à la main. Elles occupent souvent la moitié de la pièce tant elles sont grandes. D'autres sont si petites que les enfants aiment jouer à des jeux de marionnettes avec Jésus, Marie et Joseph, pas toujours très fidèles à Noël.
Tous ont en commun le décor paysan. Le bœuf et l'âne se trouvent dans l'étable, qui est directement reliée à une ferme de petite taille. Les fenêtres ont souvent des rideaux classiques à carreaux rouges et blancs et les paysans portent - comme il se doit - des knickerbockers et un tablier bleu et les paysannes des foulards et des hayons.
Dans les crèches plus grandes, ce sont des paysages entiers qui sont représentés : Des châteaux en miniature où vivent les "seigneurs" les mieux habillés, des artisans qui accomplissent leur travail dans les petites villes, de toutes petites fermes avec des bergers, des paysans, des vaches et des moutons, des petits ruisseaux qui se déversent des montagnes dans la vallée, des prairies parsemées de mousse et des toits en bardeaux protégés par des petites pierres. Les crèches du Tyrol du Sud sont de véritables œuvres d'art, des milliers d'heures de travail y sont consacrées.
Pour ceux qui souhaitent voir de près les crèches tyroliennes et du Tyrol du Sud, nous recommandons une visite au musée des crèches "Maranatha" à Lutago dans la Valle Aurina.
