The crib ceremony at Trafalgar Square takes place three days after the Christmas tree has been lit, and marks the beginning of the square as home to the nativity scene for the duration of Christmas 2010.

Nativity scene
On loan from St Martin in the Fields, the church which stands on the edges of Trafalgar Square itself, the nativity scene consists of several large wooden figures, including the crib and the model of the baby Jesus. The church holds its own service for the dedication of the crib before the model in place in Trafalgar Square.

Torch lit procession
To take part in the blessing of the crib in Trafalgar Square, meet on the steps of St Martin in the Fields at 5.20pm for a torch lit procession to Trafalgar Square. The procession is led by the Salvation Army Band as well as the choir and clergy of St Martin in the Fields.

The blessing of the crib ceremony at Trafalgar Square takes place on Sunday 5th December 2010.
