Romeo Tonna is back again this year with his handcrafted nativity scene.
Mr Tonna has displayed his nativity scene for 12 years in his Craigieburn garage but this could be his last year as crowds fizzle post COVID
Mr Tonna’s daughter-in-law Maria Tonna said the family would love to see more people attend this Christmas to encourage her father-in-law to keep displaying his nativity scene for years to come.
“We’d love to get a lot more people because that would incentivise him to keep going,” she said. “It’s not something you see every day.”
Ms Tonna said there are over 8000 pieces in the set and most of them are handmade.
“The nativity is something they do in Malta,” she said. “He bought pieces back from Malta and one thing led to another and it kept growing.
“The scene has running water and lighting effects which you must see to believe.”
The nativity scene can be viewed from 8pm on Monday, December 20 onwards at 11 Parramatta Walk, Craigieburn.
