A present from the archives
2020 has been challenging, to put it mildly, but we've made it to Christmas! SWI swissinfo.ch would like to wish you and your families all the very best for this festive day. Sit back and enjoy our final archive findings.
The manger is a traditional Christmas symbol – but no two mangers are the same! Willy Kyburz, a retired IT specialist, enjoys making them out of natural materials. What’s more, he can fit a whole nativity scene into a matchbox!

The whole SWI swissinfo.ch team wishes you and your loved ones a very merry Christmas!
