Wigoltingen Easter Scene and Crafts

 One of my most memorable stops on my trip to Switzerland in 2015 was the Nativity scene in the Wigoltingen Church.  I have always loved crafts, as well as nativity scenes, and little reminders of the Lord Jesus Christ as well.  We were there the week before Easter and this is the little scene they had there.

In 2000 more than half of the people considered themselves members of the Swiss Reformed Church.  I can't remember if they shared the church building with the Catholics, who made up 25% in 2000, but it is a common practice.
