Mary

Just think how the angel’s words must have turned Mary’s world upside down. She didn’t hesitate or make excuses. She burst forth in song and glorified the Lord.

Sheep

I remember, as a child, playing with the Nativity scene. I always placed the sheep near the front, close to Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus.

The heavenly host

I belong to the group of created beings called angels. There are hundreds, no, tens of thousands of us. Actually, we number more than any person can count.

An angel of the Lord

Luke tells us that when the angel appeared, the glory of God himself shone around the shepherds. No wonder they were terrified!

The shepherds

Have you ever had exciting news to tell? To whom did you tell the news?

The manger

When you see a Nativity, what is the first thing that catches your eye? For me the first thing that my eyes are drawn to is in the very center: the manger.

Cloths

We may not be able to make a special baby blanket for the newborn king this Christmas, but we can show love in other ways. How will you express yours?

The inn and innkeeper

The innkeeper is not a part of any Nativity scenes I have and is a very small part of the story; therefore, it may seem he is insignificant figure. But is he?

David

Meet David, a young, gentle shepherd.

Caesar Augustus

I love Nativity scenes. They are the decoration that tells a story, the story of Jesus’ birth.
