Outdoor Wooden Nativity Set
Nativity Cut Out
Nowadays, however, centuries of linguistic obfuscation, historical speculation, popular tradition, and artistic license have made it perfectly okay to set up a Nativity scene that adheres instead to individual imagination and faith rather than Biblical accuracy. As for the non-human figurines, throughout the Christian era paintings and other artistic renderings of the Nativity have included animals found only in the artist’s native country and completely alien to the Bethlehem of Jesus’ time. For example, some African artists have included giraffes and lions in their Nativity scenes. Therefore, when setting up your outdoor Nativity scene, feel free to select the figurines that feel right to you!
Nativity sets come in many sizes and prices. Some are as simple as three figures, while others contain up to 21 pieces. The smaller sets contain Mary and Joseph, while the larger ones include Wise Men, Angels, and stable animals. Some even include backdrops. These can be great additions to your outdoor decorations or even to your church's sanctuary.
