A nativity scene is pictured in Luceram, southeastern France, on December 11, 2016 where each year end villagers decorate the village in the theme of Christmas with numerous nativity scenes set up on window sills, in cellars or any available space.
Frances top administrative court, the State Council (Conseil d Etat) said on October 21, 2016 that nativity scenes, or creches in French, should be allowed on three specific conditions : they must be temporary, they cannot be accompanied by any evangelising, and they must be " cultural or festive in character", to comply with Frances vaunted laws to protect secularism. / AFP PHOTO / Yann COATSALIOU

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Christmas in Luceram, southeastern France. The village comes alive during the festive season as its residents adorn every available space with enchanting nativity scenes. Each year, these intricate displays are lovingly set up on window sills, in cellars, and wherever there is room to showcase the beauty of Christmas. However, controversy surrounding religious symbols and secularism has led to a debate about the presence of nativity scenes in public spaces. In response to this issue, France's top administrative court, the State Council (Conseil d'Etat), laid out three specific conditions for allowing such displays. Firstly, they must be temporary; secondly, they cannot be used for evangelizing purposes; and finally, they must have a cultural or festive character. These guidelines aim to strike a balance between respecting France's cherished laws protecting secularism while also acknowledging and honoring traditional customs that hold deep cultural significance for many people. In this image captured by Yann Coatsaliou from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness one of these breathtaking nativity scenes against the backdrop of Luceram's charming streets. It serves as a reminder that despite differing beliefs and opinions on religion and secularism, moments like these can bring communities together during this joyous time of year.
