Thanks to filters you can also choose the size you prefer, animals size refers to a standing characther: animals for Nativity Scenes from 3 cm tall, to life size (up to 180 cm tall).

What animals were in Bethlehem?

The Nativity scene is traditionally set in a simple stable or cave near Bethlehem, a place where animals were an integral part of everyday life. Although the Gospels do not provide precise details about the presence of animals on the night of Jesus' birth, Christian tradition has passed down the idea that near the manger were the ox and the donkey, symbols of humility and service.

In richer and more detailed nativity representations, in addition to the Holy Family, there are often also sheep, goats, and other barnyard animals, as evidence that the shepherds were among the first witnesses to Christ's birth. The camels, on the other hand, are linked to the tradition of the Epiphany, as the Magi Kings came from the East and, according to many artistic representations, would have traveled on these animals to reach the cave in Bethlehem.

What animals to put in the nativity scene?

When setting up a nativity scene, the choice of animals for nativity scene can enrich the scene and make it more realistic and evocative. In addition to the main characters, the ox and the donkey, you can include other figures representing the rural landscape and pastoral environment of Judea.

Barnyard animals for nativity scene, such as sheep, chickens, and ducks, are perfect for recreating the atmosphere of a small village of the time. For those who want a more detailed nativity scene, it is possible to add figures like camels, horses, and even elephants, which often accompany the scene of the arrival of the Magi Kings.

What is the significance of the ox and the donkey in the nativity scene?

The ox and the donkey are two symbolic figures present in almost all nativity representations. Although they are not mentioned in the canonical Gospels, their presence derives from ancient Christian traditions and apocryphal texts such as the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew, which places them next to the manger where Baby Jesus rests.

In Christian tradition, the ox is associated with strength, patience, and sacrifice, while the donkey represents humility and simplicity. Not surprisingly, it will be on a donkey that Jesus will enter Jerusalem, in the episode of Palm Sunday, as a sign of peace.

For this reason, the ox and the donkey cannot be missing in any nativity scene. They are the symbolic and visual heart of the Nativity, a sign of the simplicity and spiritual depth of Christmas.
