Marionette Theatre - Szopka
This is always a favorite with the children who will  pull the strings to make the dolls move while they recite specially prepared poems and sing traditional kolendy.  The youngsters will work all year perfecting themselves in wood-craft, preparing new and better dolls for the Szopka.  The custom began in the 17th century and since that time Krakow and its environs has become most famous for its Szopka.
