Description
This Lying Ox is one of the animals typically included in handcrafted nativity scenes. Carved from maple wood and hand-painted to create a unique and beautiful representation of the sacred scene. The Ox often occupies a place of honour in the centre of the crib, surrounded by other figures such as the Virgin Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus and the Three Wise Men. Nativity scenes can also be made to measure in larger sizes on request. Dolfi figurines are a popular choice for adding a touch of elegance and detail to your Christmas tree.
Detail & Meaning
1) Elementi iconografici e simbolici: Bue sdraiato, presepe artigianale, legno d'acero, dipinto a mano, Vergine Maria, Giuseppe, Gesù Bambino, Re Magi, statuine Dolfi, albero di Natale.
2) Significato religioso: Il Bue simboleggia la mansuetudine e la fedeltà, presente nella Natività per riscaldare il Bambino. Il presepe rappresenta la Sacra Famiglia e l'adorazione dei Magi, incarnando l'umiltà e la nascita di Cristo. Le statuine Dolfi, pur essendo un marchio, contribuiscono all'atmosfera devozionale del presepe, che è il cuore della celebrazione natalizia e della fede cristiana.
Story
The Ox, a humble and silent figure, is a timeless symbol of the Nativity, present in every nativity scene. Its veneration is not linked to a specific saint, but to its function as a witness to the birth of Jesus. Tradition places it next to the donkey, warming the Child in the manger with its breath. It represents meekness, patient strength and devotion, essential elements of the sacred scene. Its presence evokes the simplicity and purity of the Gospel message, making it a beloved and recognized icon for centuries.
