14 The Krakow Post K A T O W I C E DECEMBER 13-DECEMBER 19, 2007 Xmas crib on main market in Gliwice the krakow post Gliwice residents can catch some of the real Christmas spirit by helping to build a manger scene on the main market square. The community effort, which starts tomorrow, makes it “something special,” said Dariusz Jezierski, who came up with the idea. He is director of Gliwice’s National Theater. A collective effort to create the manger scene “will emphasize the community character of Christmas,” Jezierski said. A manger, or animal feeding trough, was where the Bible says Mary placed the baby Jesus after his birth. It has become a symbol of Christmas worldwide. “Right now the best-known manger scene is in Krakow,” Jezierski said. “Maybe that will change.” Many residents have expressed interest in helping to build the Nativity scene, including students from the Silesian Polytechnic Institute in Gliwice. There is still a need for carpenters and bricklayers, however. Each volunteer can propose ideas about the interior of the scene, gifts for the baby Jesus and the clothes of the main characters, including Mary and Joseph, shepherds and the three Wise Men. During the nine-day construction period, which will end Dec. 23, the main market square will be alive with the sights, sounds and feel of Christmas. Each day, for example, youth choirs will give Christmas concerts. Soloists and theater groups will also perform, Jezierski said. A culmination of the festivities will be Bishop Jan Wieczorek performing a Christmas Mass at the Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral on Sunday Dec. 23. Saint Francis of Assisi came up with the idea of building the first Nativity scene in the Italian city of Greccio in 1223. The custom that he started spread throughout the world. The Roman Catholic Church’s Franciscans, an order of monks named for the saint, were a catalyst in spreading the manger-scene tradition. They built scenes wherever they established monasteries. The Nativity scene is a deep-rooted tradition in Poland because Franciscans built their first monasteries here in the 13th Century. Today, every Roman Catholic church has a manger scene with Jesus, Mary and Joseph. MUSIC LIVE Hey hits Krakow the krakow post Top Polish rock outfit Hey are in Krakow this Saturday Dec. 15 at Klub Studio as part of their fifteenth anniversary national tour. Hey skyrocketed to fame in the early 90s signing with Izabelin Studio label after being noticed by Katarzyna Kanclerz at the Jarocin Festival – only one month after the group formed in 1992. Their 1993 debut album Fire has been called one of the most important Polish albums of the 90s. The combination of vocalist and lyricist Katarzyna Nosowska with guitarist Piotr Banach, resulted in songs popular across Poland including Moja i Twoja Nadzieja, Teksański, or ZazdroSc. When Fire sold more than a hundred thousand copies in the first five months, probably no one, including the band, dreamt that their second release, the 1994 album Ho!, would achieve even greater success, selling just under a mln copies in 6 months. These were the band’s golden years, and though they never came back, during the next decade Hey have consolidated their position with excellent albums, such as Karma, Hey and Echosystem in 2005. Singles from these releases have hit number one in national charts, and the band continues to attract a large fan base to their performances. As part of the band’s anniversary year, they have released a copy of their live unplugged MTV recording at Roma Theater in Warsaw this September, with remixes of their most popular songs and covers of P.J. Harvey and Iggy Pop. The album Unplugged went gold on the first day. The national anniversary tour 92-07, is stopping in 12 cities across Poland with over two hours of on stage time and all their favorite songs featured in the sets. Hey will be supported by the indie group Muchy, who have been called the “Discovery of the year” by Machina magazine. Gig info: Klub Studio, ul.
