Cobi 20006 - 370 PCS NATIVITY SET 20006 NATIVITY SCENE

A nativity scene is a traditional decoration associated with Christmas celebrations that depicts the scene of the birth of Jesus Christ. Nativity scenes come in various forms, from simple, homemade models to complex and artistically designed installations. Their purpose is to remind the faithful of the biblical story of Jesus' birth in Bethlehem. The tradition of creating nativity scenes dates back to the Middle Ages. In 1223, Francis of Assisi created a living nativity scene in Greccio, Italy, that recreated the birth of Jesus with the involvement of people and animals. Through this, he aimed to bring the mystery of the Incarnation closer to the people. Shortly after this event, nativity scenes began to appear throughout Europe, initially in monasteries and later in churches and private homes.

The traditional nativity scene includes figures representing the Holy Family: Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Often, angels, shepherds, the Three Wise Men, and animals such as oxen, donkeys, and sheep are also included. At the center is a small manger where the newborn Jesus lies. The entire scene is set in a stable or cave.

The COBI nativity scene contains the most characteristic elements of a traditional stable. The interesting structure, made up of 370 elements, includes many fascinating plants, such as ivy on the wall and a palm tree near the stable. Above the small building is the Star of Bethlehem, which guides the Wise Men from the East. In their hands, they hold gifts that they will present to the newborn Christ. Cattle, an ox, a sheep, and a donkey wander around. Inside the stable are the Holy Family: Joseph, Mary, and Jesus.
