A unique nativity scene is currently on display in the Prague district of Žižkov. Alongside the traditional Biblical figures, it features notable Žižkov personalities, including Jaroslav Hašek, the celebrated author of Švejk, and Jára Cimrman, a beloved fictional character. Each year, a new figure is added, keeping the display fresh and connected to Žižkov’s history.
The Žižkov nativity scene, showcased at the information centre on Jiřího z Poděbrad Square, was conceived by the Prague 3 Town Hall around a decade ago.
