While the term nativity scene typically includes two dimensional depictions in film, painting, printmaking, & other media, in the history of art & culture, as well as in popular use, the term refers to static, three dimensional, artistic, commercial or folk art dioramas, or pantomimes called living nativity scenes in which real humans & animals participate. Nativity scenes exhibit figures representing the infant Jesus, his mother Mary, & Joseph. Other characters from the nativity story may include shepherds, the Magi, & angels which may be displayed near the manger in a barn (or cave) intended to accommodate farm animals. Saint Francis of Assisi is credited with creating the first nativity scene in 1223 (a living one) intending thereby 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. The scene’s popularity inspired communities throughout Catholic countries to stage similar pantomimes. Nativity ornaments add a uniquely beautiful touch to your holiday dcor. FSL ornaments use specific stitch patterns & sequences to wrap the stitched threads around each other so that they hold together without fabric in between the top & bobbin threads. All ornaments can be used on your tree, hung individually/set in windows, or as an embellishment/gift on scrapbooked cards, gift baskets & bags. Each heirloom quality ornament ships to you in resealable acid free packaging to protect your ornament for years of enjoyment. Individual | 1 Nativity Figure Free Standing Lace Embroidered Ornament
