Story
The shepherd in the nativity scene is not associated with a specific saint, but represents a fundamental biblical figure in the narrative of the Nativity. It symbolizes the humility, simplicity and faith of the first witnesses of the birth of Jesus. Their presence underlines the universal message of the coming of the Savior, accessible to all, from the most humble to the most powerful. The shepherds were the first to receive the angelic announcement and to go to the manger, thus becoming the first evangelizers of the good news. Their veneration is implicit in the nativity tradition, which includes them as an integral part of the sacred event, celebrating their faith and their role in spreading the news of the birth of Christ.
