Summary[edit]

Description
English: The picture depicts a handmade church that plays the central role in a typical Hungarian Christmas tradition, called Betlehemezés that means something like Bethlehem play. The church on the picture is actually called bethlehem.

The Bethlehem plays are usually performed by a group of young people or by children who are at least ten years old during the Christmas' days. The Bethlehem-group usually consists of three shepherds, three kings, an angel, the Virgin Mother and St. Joseph. The bethlehem is built by the group. It has to have a wooden frame covered by cardboard, decoreted with colourful ribbons and "inpopulated" with Christmas related characters made of china or ceramics. The group visits usually relatives, neighbours, friends or sometimes anybody to perform their Bethlehem play that tells the story of Jesus' birth eith some Christmas carols. In the end of the performance they ask blessings for the house and wish merry Christmas. In return they might get some food and money.

This bethlehem is exhibited in the local historical museum of Hajdúdorog, Hungary. As this town has a number of Greek Catholic inhabitants the bethlehem built in this town usually follows the shape of the most important Greek Catholic pilgrimage-site: the basilica of Máriapócs.
Magyar: A kép a jellegzetes karácsonyi hagyomány, a betlehemezés legfőbb kellékét ábrázolja: az úgynevezett betlehemet.

Rendszerint fiatalok vagy tíz évesnél idősebb gyerekek betlehemeznek karácsony egész ideje alatt. A betlehemesek között általában a három pásztor, a három király, egy angyal, a Szűz Mária és Szent József szokott szerepelni. A betlehemet ennek a csoportnak a tagjai építik, amelynek az alapját egy fa váz alkotja, amelyet kartonnal vonnak be, majd színes szalagokkal díszítik fel azt, és gyakran kerámiából vagy porcelánból készült karácsonyi figurákkal "népesítik be" a templomot. A betlehemesek általában rokonokat, szomszédokat, barátokat, de akár teljesen idegen családokat is meglátogatnak, hogy előadják nekik betlehemes játékukat, amely Jézus születésének történetét meséli el néhány karácsonyi ének kíséretében. A betlehemezés végén a szereplők az Úr áldását kérik a házra és boldog karácsonyt kívánnak. Cserébe ételt és pénzt is kaphatnak.

A képen látható betlehemet a Hajdúdorogi Helytörténeti Múzeumban állították ki. Mivel ez a város túlnyomó részben görög katolikus vallású, ezért a betlehemeket nagyrészt a legfőbb görög katolikus zarándokhely, a Máriapócsi bazilika mintájára építik meg.
