ABOUT NATIVITIES - "Nativity" is an old word for birth. In contemporary North America, it has come to mean a collection of figurines and accessories that represent the setting and events of Jesus' birth. Some Americans also call it a "the Creche," the "Manger," or the "Crib." (Some even call it a "Putz.") READ MORE AT - About Nativities, from Family Christmas Online<sup><small>TM</small></sup>
--ST. AUGUSTINE CATHOLIC CHURCH still carries on the Epiphany tradition of THE BLESSING OF HOMES...this dates from the Middle Ages.
YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT IT in their church bulletin here
--One of our favorite things--from 1969, with the tag still attached, the ubiquitous Woolworth's plastic creche! More here.

--And now a special treat with many thanks to a thoughtful reader- and "company". A very beautiful nativity set, purchased in Germany in 1933--and given as a wedding present in 1938. It was hand carved and painted by a master artist. The human figures are about 8" tall. The Wise Men are wonderfully detailed. Click here.
