The Matteo nativity scene consists of 12 nativity characters and hut or stable. The scene begins with Mary and Joseph standing side by side in the centre of the crib. Behind them, the three Magi from the East are kneeling before the baby Jesus, offering their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. To their left, an ox and a donkey stand peacefully beside the crib. To the right, a shepherd boy stands with a sheep sitting at his feet and a ram and lamb standing behind him. All around them is a small hut, providing shelter for this special family.
