Nativity Scene Figures Near Madrid Beheaded

Several figures of the famous Nativity Scene of San Lorenzo de El Escorial in the mountains near Madrid were decapitated on January 2, reports TeleMadrid.es.

Graffiti was also found on the structures of the nativity scene. This Nativity Scene has existed for 27 years. It is visited by more than 100,000 people every year. 500 life-size figures are handcrafted and placed on an area of more than 6,000 m2.

The decapitated figures are those of Herod's castle. The Nativity Scene was inaugurated on December 7 and will be on display until January 7.

Already in 2021, some figures were attacked and destroyed. Since then, surveillance cameras have been installed to prevent such acts and to find the perpetrators.
