THE NATIVITY SCENE
It has been our family tradition to put up a nativity scene at home every Christmas. It is a reminder of the birth of Jesus Christ, our redeemer. The above nativity set is already nine (9) years old and originally without a stable. It was only figurines so I decided to make a stable out of scrap woods and garlands this time.
Saint Francis of Assisi created the first nativity
scene in 1223 with the intention to cultivate the worship of Christ,
having been inspired by his recent visit to the Holy Land where he had
been shown Jesus's traditional birthplace.
CHRISTMAS VILLAGE
MY CHRISTMAS VILLAGE
This year I decided to create my Christmas Village out of the figurines I have collected over the years.
Most of the lighted houses in this Christmas village were bought long time ago by my late mom who passed away in 2005. Those are my remembrance from her.
Most of the items here were on sale when I bought them. I was lucky !
Looks so cute !
Little snowmen with different expressions are adorable
