About this series
Collector's Bible on Christmas Nativities.
Saint Francis of Assisi is often credited with being the first to create a live nativity scene, in 1223. He did it to promote the worship of Christ. He had come back from The Holy Land, where he had been shown the traditional birthplace of Jesus. The scene was so popular that it inspired communities throughout Catholic countries to stage similar pantomimes.
The series discovers Christmas Nativities in several European countries and the United States.

One of the wonderful traditions of Christmas is the Nativity. But you don't have to be Christian or a regular church-goer to love these wonderful displays. The creativity and artistry speaks to all children and to the child in us all. Nativity is a scene from the stories of the birth of Jesus. They are in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. With inspiration in these stories you use either figurines or live people to create the scene and convey the story. These scenes excite especially the children. Their happy smiles and their joy is so wonderfully rewarding. But adults as well enjoy both creating and looking at the nativity scenes. This has developed into a huge handicraft industry in countries like Spain and Italy. Artists and craftsmen work all year round to create their next exhibits, which are sold especially at Christmas markets. Families collect figurines and accessories from the markets and create their own displays at home. Churches, beginning with the Vatican, and cities and other institutions create their own annual exhibits that are venerated and celebrated. This little book series shows you some of the nativity scenes we have seen and some of the figurines and accessories that you can find in the various Christmas markets, as well as where you can not find nativity scenes and figurines. Nativity is today a Catholic tradition, separated in many countries from official society as Christianity does no longer have the same central function, although the European values and norms are deeply steeped in Christianity. In Northern European countries the birth of Jesus is no longer the central theme of the Christmas displays. We show you some alternative displays, usually with animals, that are used instead to make the children, and adults, happy. Mostly they are in shopping windows and displace for a while the display of some of the commercial goods that is the daily function of the windows.

- Christmas Nativity Hallstatt: Christmas Nativities, #8

Nativity is a scene from the stories of the birth of Jesus. Hallstatt is home to the Worldøs oldest salt mine! The small town of Hallstatt is a unique place of beauty and utility. It is on the shore of the Lake Hallstatt, ringed by the Dachstein mountains. It used to be accessible only by boat and a small trail over the mountains. The first road was only built in 1890, using rock blasting. But Hallstatt has been active with salt mining since prehistoric times. A special Celtic culture lived here from 800 BC to 450 BC, the Hallstatt culture, which disappeared for unknown reasons. The salt mining continued in Roman times but was likely already then supplemented by exclusive tourism – Roman baths were found under the Janu sport shop, see below. Gere is also a fantastic exhibition of Nativity scenes and figurines! In 1997 UNESCO declared the Hallstat-Dachstein/Salzkammergut Cultural Landscape a World heritage. There are abt 750 inhabitants on a whole year basis.
