Frank Mizzi began constructing this unique Christmas crib around forty years ago, and it has remained a living work in progress ever since — an evolving testament to both artistic devotion and spiritual reflection. Over the decades, Mizzi continuously refined and expanded the scene, adding new features, figures, and details that imbue the crib with a profound sense of narrative and craftsmanship.
Until only a few years ago, the crib was lovingly displayed in an exhibition space adjoining his home in Triq tal-Għajn, just off St Augustine Square in Victoria. There, it became something of a local treasure, drawing visitors who admired its intricate detail and heartfelt expression of faith.
In a gesture of remarkable generosity and foresight, Frank Mizzi donated this exceptional work to Il-Ħaġar Museum, ensuring its preservation and accessibility for future generations. Today, the crib stands not only as a masterpiece of artisanal skill but also as a symbol of dedication, tradition, and community spirit — a celebration of the timeless story of the Nativity as seen through the eyes of one man’s lifelong passion.
