Nativity sets

For many people, the origins of Christmas come from the birth of Jesus. The well-known story has been told and retold through children in school and blockbuster films but the original premise remains the same. Mary is visited by the Angel Gabriel who tells her she will give birth to a boy called Jesus. Mary and her husband Joseph have to travel to Bethlehem to pay taxes, when they get there they struggle to find a room to stay and end up in a stable around the back of an inn. It is here that Mary gives birth to Jesus surrounded by animals and only has a Manger for his bed. The baby Jesus is visited by three shepherds and three wise men before Joseph is told by an Angel to take his family home and keep them safe.

It is often St Francis of Assisi who is credited with creating the first nativity scene in order to remind people of the origins of Christmas rather than the modern gift-giving that is often observed today. We stock a fantastic range of wooden nativity scenes. The colourful and cute Sevi scene comes with everything you need including palm trees, children will love this one as the characters are slightly cartoony, perfect for you to introduce them to the story and act it out.
