La imagen te se registró en Asís, Italia cuando monjes franciscanos decidieron hacer ese montaje para llamar la atención sobre las personas que sufren en el mundo y la necesidad de paz. Cada año los religiosos crean una escena diferente en la Basílica de San Francisco, reseña O Globo.

La cama del Niño Jesús fue hecha con 445 proyectiles. De acuerdo con los monjes, es un homenaje a los cerca de 445 sacerdotes católicos, monjas, monjes y profesores de religión laicos muertos por defender su fe en todo el mundo desde el año 2000.

“Personas de paz, personas de diálogo son muertas, torturadas y masacradas porque quieren cambiar los sistemas injustos en muchas sociedades”, dijo el padre Enzo Fortunato.
