An essential part of Christmas in Dublin, the Mansion House Live Animal Crib launched again this week!
The life-size crib features real animals, and is open daily from 11am to 5pm until Christmas Eve, when it closes at 1pm.
Admission is free, but donations are welcome and will go towards the Mansion House Fuel Fund. The Fuel Fund has been providing help to those who need it through the winter months since the 1890s. The groups who currently benefit from it are Dublin Simon Community, St Vincent de Paul, Abbey Presbyterian Church Hamper Fund and St. Thomas the Apostle Parish, Jobstown, Tallaght.
Here are some photos of the Little Angels from St Josephs Nursery, Morning Star Road, Dublin 8 at the crib’s launch:
