It has more than four hundred "figures". It is headed by a verse from Genesis: "Look up to heaven and count, if you are able, the stars" (Genesis 15:5). This phrase of God to Abraham represents the symbolic summary of this Bethlehem. In this corner of the campus many characters approach the Portal to adore the Child who will be born in Bethlehem. The sky is dotted with tiny points of light that are the pupils that illuminate Christmas Eve. They are the most numerous group .

In addition to Jesus, Mary and Joseph, we find Jasid, the faithful dog of the Holy Family, who published his memories a few years ago. Of course, there is also the mule and the ox to keep the Baby Jesus warm.

The scene is brightened by twenty-three angels singing the first carols of Christmas. They are the people who make this Christmas Eve wonder possible: administrative office, Cleaning Service and management events, Security Service, Communication, IT Services, Library Services, Faustino, Mail, Maintenance, Promotion, etc.

Three shepherds - the deans, each in the color of his academic vestment - lead a large flock that occupies the central part of the Bethlehem: they are the professors and there is even an egregious black sheep (from the Latin ex grege).

This small and simple nativity scene has been made by several professors - former professors - for the Schools Ecclesiastics in their spare time. The crude figures are made with air-drying modeling paste and decorated with tempera paints. The scene is illuminated by several energy-saving LED bulbs.

St. Josemaría recommends in point 557 of The Way this secular Christian tradition: "Christmas devotion. I don't smile when I see you make the mountains of cork for the Nativity Scene and place the naïve clay figures around Portal. -You have never seemed to me more like a man than now, when you look like a child".
