I love Nativity sets! In fact I love them so much, I collect them. And now, after years and years, I have upwards of 500 of them in various sizes from teeny tiny to 15-18 inches. And that number includes the Nativity ornaments on the Christmas tree, too. I continually marvel at the countless ways this miracle is depicted through some artist's or creator's eyes. Any Nativity set, whether manufactured in bulk or hand made, testifies of Jesus Christ.
I love Nativity sets so much, in fact, I keep a few on display all year long. Just glancing at them as I move around the house gives me a sense of peace and calm* as I contemplate that "one wonderful night" so long ago when Jesus Christ was born. They are wonderful reminders of the humble beginnings of our Savior and Redeemer who ministered with love and goodness--ALWAYS! Perhaps you feel the same peace and calm when you see a Nativity displayed, whatever the setting.
