The Nativity scene, a universal symbol of the Nativity, has its roots in the Christian tradition, recalling the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. Its origin is often attributed to St. Francis of Assisi who, in 1223 in Greccio, staged the first living representation of the Nativity scene, with the intention of making the mystery of the Incarnation more tangible and understandable. Since then, the Nativity scene has become a central element of Christmas celebrations, evolving into countless artistic and artisan forms, from the Neapolitan baroque Nativity scene to the carved Alpine one, like yours, which enhances the beauty and simplicity of nature. Its veneration is not directed to a specific saint, but to the Child Jesus and the Holy Family, representing a moment of reflection on faith, hope and divine love, uniting generations in the contemplation of an event that changed the history of humanity.
