Original Bethlehem nativity scene
The original Bethlehem nativity scene depicts the birth of Jesus in the town of Bethlehem. Traditionally, it includes wooden figures sculptures in fine maple wood such as Mary, Joseph, the Christ Child, shepherds, the Magi and animals such as the ox and donkey. The Christmas nativity made of wood is often shown in a simple, traditional and rustic setting, depicting the stable in Bethlehem. These representations can be found in many homes during the Christmas season and symbolize the miracle of Christ's birth as well as the humility and peace of this holy night.
