Valley. We visit medieval Rieti with its palaces and churches
and Greccio, known to the world as the Franciscan Bethlehem.
It was here, in the winter of 1223, that St. Francis thought of
commemorating the Birth of the Infant Christ at the approach of
the Feast of the Nativity, and on Christmas Eve night, the world
saw its first Crib with an ox and an ass standing round a manger
where the priest celebrated the Mass. We celebrate Holy Mass
