EN: Nativity scene
The OG Christmas decoration. It's the complete set of figurines—Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, some farm animals, and the three wise guys—that your mom carefully sets up every December. It's the centerpiece of the Pinoy Christmas home before the Christmas tree became the star. You know Christmas is near when the Belen is out.
From Spanish 'Belén', meaning Bethlehem.
Always capitalized. Refers specifically to the nativity scene, a staple of Philippine Christmas decorations.
🇵🇭 Itinayo na ng lola ang Belen sa ilalim ng aming Christmas tree.
🇺🇸 Grandma has already set up the Nativity scene under our Christmas tree.
🇵🇭 Ang ganda ng mga ilaw sa Belen na nasa plasa.
