2025 Nativity Scene - The Light of Bethlehem

2025 Nativity Scene – “The Light of Bethlehem”

Each year, we honor the story at the heart of Christmas with a new Nativity design. This year’s edition invites reflection through simplicity, light, and layered meaning.

Set upon a custom wooden stand, three panels rise in gentle progression—each one telling part of the story.

The first panel, at the base of the hill, shows children and animals making their way toward the miracle—symbols of innocence and joyful anticipation.
At the center, the second panel reveals the manger, where Mary and Joseph cradle the newborn Christ, the glow of a hidden flameless candle illuminating their quiet wonder.
Behind them, the tallest panel depicts Bethlehem beneath a golden star, rendered in Anna Bailey’s signature mosaic style—a radiant reminder of divine promise and enduring hope.

The layered design, in matte black silhouette, allows light to pass through and rest softly behind the Holy Family—a tribute to the light of Christ that shines through generations and communities alike.

Classic, simple, and full of meaning, this year’s Nativity keeps our gaze on what matters most: the humble birth that changed everything.

Each scene when assembled measures 9.75" in height and 5.75" in depth. As each scene is individually made, variations in grain and display angles will occur.
