A very nice crib, Father Blake. I think our priest mentioned that our crib will be taken down after this coming Sunday. I thought there might be rules for this. I guess not.
Dear Padre,
After the Feast Day of the Reyes Magos; the Three Kings.
Great Manger scene.
God bless you, Padre.

Feast of Presentation in when our crib here (UK) is packed away..........I wonder have your Kings just arrived or did they get there 'early' on SUNDAY ? I hope the E & W Bishops have an epiphany about this and get the dates properly back in place.
Traditionally after Jan 6th. Surely you'd know that?!
I like the French custom of keeping the Cribs up (and all the public decorations too) until February 2nd. This date would get my vote for the parish.
I've just looked out and see that the snow has arrived once again. This means if it freezes that many of us will probably not be able to attend Mass tomorrow evening so a prolongation of the Crib this year would be most welcome.
Here in Milwaukee at St. Josaphat's Basilica the Crib doesn't come down until Feb. 2nd.
The Basilica is administered by the Conventual Franciscans. Given the history of the Crib and St. Francis, theirs may not be a bad example to follow...
The Vatican Crib is allways up until February 2nd...
Was not the Medieval custom in England to keep it until 2nd Feb?
I understand that the one in S.Peter's is up until the Purification : and it used to be true (although whether it still is I'm afraid I don't know know) that the ones in the Royal Residences are as well.
That would seem to give you the choice of the Purification because you're Catholic, or the Purification because you're English ! (Or, I suppose, the Purification because you're an English Catholic !)
