A couple of years ago I wrote about how different Nativities can be. I was noticing it again this year, but a different aspect of it. No one really knows what that scene looked like so long ago, and yet there are thousands, if not millions of representations of it. My Mom collects nativities, and many of them are from different countries. I just find it fascinating how even though we do know something of the culture and dress of the original Nativity, people have put there own culture into the Nativity sets they make. Because ultimately they aren't trying to represent a historically accurate event but they are putting themselves into the situation of the Christchild's birth. Or at least that's how I see it. So all nativities show truth, show the reality of God in a culture, in a home, in a life.
