SLOVAK BETLEHEM
It is a remarkable work of a master baker Joseph of Marianske Lazne, which is not showing the birth of Christ, but also the history of Slovak nation. Joseph baker's idea was incorporated into the biblical images of the life environment of Slovak people. God's birth is located in the middle of the work and is set into the village Rajecká Lesná. Around it are represented all Slovak regions of their most famous places and monuments. Castles Devin, Bratislava, Trencin, Orava, cathedrals, Nitra, Trnava, Spišská Kapitule, Kosice and others. In the background, Krivan, one of the Tatra peaks, which is a symbol of Slovakia. In the centre of the entire composition is poor stall, wth the Jesus Crist in the crib, figures f the Virgin Mary, Joseph, a village little boy who brings his favorite toy - horse. There are also three kings Gaspard, Baltazar and Melicha, the shepherds and animals.

National Quality Label
As we all must agree, this project is working and, in my opinion, we could all think about applying for the National Quality Label. This will bring even greater motivation for everybody. You just have to go to the eTwnning portal and apply for it. Good luck to everyone.
Our partners
I think that this first session was great. We were very happy because Italy joined us but we were also sad because Lithuania didn't join us. Maybe in November they'll be here with us. Till then.
The Portuguese team - 14th October
