Jim Shore: Nativity Wall Cross
The Heartwood Creek Nativity Wall Cross was created by artist Jim Shore. The caption reads "A Child is Born." It is made from stone resin giving it a hand carved look. It's one of our personal favorites

What Defines a Nativity Scene?
Our Friends at Wikipedia have the answer:
"A nativity scene may be used to describe any depiction of the Nativity of Jesus in art, but in the sense covered here, also called a crib or manger in the UK and crèche in France (meaning "crib" or "manger" in French), it means a three-dimensional commercial or folk art depiction of the birth or birthplace of Jesus, either sculpted or using two-dimensional (cut-out) figures arranged in a three-dimensional setting.
Christian nativity scenes, in two dimensions (drawings, paintings, icons, etc.) or three (sculpture or other three-dimensional crafts), usually show Jesus in a manger, Joseph and Mary in a barn, stable or cave intended to accommodate farm animals."

Giving your Children their very own Nativity Scene is a great way to introduce them to the miracle of Christmas. This Nativity Scene is produced by Playmobil. It can be found in most local departments stores. (We bought this one at Target.)
