The Putz will be available on all Saturdays in December in the Christian Education Building at the Lititz Moravian Church, 8 Church Square, Lititz. The first showing will be at noon, and the program will be repeated every half hour with the last showing at 2:30 p.m. It will also be shown at 7 p.m. daily from Thursday to Monday, Dec. 26 to 30. The program is 18 minutes long.

A Putz is a large diorama using figures and landscapes to depict the story of Jesus' birth. Originally, the purpose was to convey the story of Jesus to people - and especially children - who could not read or write. It is a tradition that dates back to St. Francis of Assisi. Unlike a creche, which depicts only Jesus' birth, the Putz depicts the events prior to and following His birth. The Lititz diorama has a soundtrack to accompany the Scriptures.

The Lititz Putz is celebrating its 55th year of operation.
