Belenismo in Spanish means "the art of making Belen, a representation of the Nativity scene in which the Holy Family (Joseph, Mary and the infant Jesus) is visited by the three wise men who came to the manger through the guidance of a star. During the Yuletide season, entries to the competition ranging from larger than life-size, personal, monumental, to dioramas are displayed in various places around the province while the smaller dioramas are housed at the Museo de Tarlac.
