Enjoy the 2-night holiday package in the marvellous City of the Sassi on a special occasion such as the Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception. It is held on December 8, so save the date since it marks the start of the 13th edition of the "Presepe Vivente" - a live representation of the nativity scene. What is so special about this event? The answer is simple: being held in the picturesque setting of the ancient Sassi it feels like living the nativity scene first hand. Furthermore, the Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception is considered one of the most important feasts dedicated to Virgin Mary in the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church. It is celebrated all over the world, and Matera is no exception since Virgin Mary is one of the city's main protectors.
