Unique Nativity Sets If You Want Something Different

By Tess

During the Christmas season as you are putting up your Christmas tree, you may also have a nativity scene that you also set up. These are common during the holiday seasons not only at households, but at businesses and shopping malls as well.

It is a representation of the day the Christ was born. It often has multiple figurines that depict that monumental day. In modern times, the nativity scene is reproduced in a wide variety of ways.

Some of them are designed for countertops, whereas others can be placed boldly outside on your front lawn. There are many unique nativity set that you can purchase. Let’s look at a few of these nativity scenes so you can decide which one would be best suited for you this holiday season.

An Overview Of The Nativity Scene

This depiction of the birth of Christ tends to have identical components, regardless of its shape or who has manufactured it. It will include the shepherd, wise men, animals, the baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, angels, the manger, the star in the sky, and the stable.

When everything is positioned properly, it will look virtually identical to every nativity scene that is set up during Christmas. Whether it is extremely large or incredibly small, it will be obvious what it is once it is completed.

What Are Unique Nativity Sets?

When a nativity set is unique, it tends to have different characteristics than are typically expected by most people. For example, the stable may appear to be an un-thatched roof or the wise men may be wearing different types of clothing. In some cases, the nativity set may only consist of the baby Jesus, the manger, Mary, and Joseph.

If it is more elaborate, there could be many different types of animals, multiple angels, and a very elaborate set up for the stable than the manger. The most unique ones tend to be either very small or they are extremely elaborate.

For example, some nativity sets are carved out of a single piece of wood. Others could be made of porcelain, plastic, or some other material. If it is a large nativity set, the figures could be very close to life-size, taking up a substantial area once everything is in place.

You can find these unique nativity scenes online or at your local store. They are most prevalent a few months before the Christmas season.

What Makes One Unique?

Some of the most unique ones tend to be smaller. Artists may make these by hands. They could have multiple components or they may have one single piece that is depicting just the minimal amount of participants.

In some cases, they are made of cement. Others could be designed with pewter. Still others use a resin metallic material or could be designed out of ceramic.

Perhaps one of the most popular smaller models involves only the figurines of the people and animals that are part of the scene. There are also metal nativity sets that depict the birth of Jesus as a silhouette, often placed on a mantle above the fireplace.

The largest ones are often made of metal, painted very carefully on this flat surface. Still others will be made of wood, carved to perfection, allowing the owner to create a life-size representation of this monumental event in Bethlehem.

If you are a connoisseur of different and unique Nativity sets, you will always find new ones for sale year after year. If you are a collector, you are likely looking for the smallest units that you can store away or put on display in your home.

If you prefer a larger unit, you may actually replace your nativity set on an annual basis. Either way, this scene will continue to be presented during Christmas.

As long as you can find nativity sets that are absolutely unique, you will likely continue to invest in this well-known component of the holiday season.
