The world’s biggest nativity has been staged with more than 900 people putting on a show to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus. A spectacular event of Biblical proportions took place against the stunning backdrop of the Santa Maria de Montserrat abbey in the Montserrate Mountains close to Barcelona.<\/p>\n
Romans, shepherds, wise men and of course Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus all starred in massive production staged by the Federation of Living Nativity Scenes of Catalonia.<\/p>\n
