In today's society, Christmas has evolved into a spectacular consumer event. Fewer and fewer people value celebrating and experiencing the Christmas season and the Holy Festival in a reflective manner. Many have likely forgotten the origin and meaning of the holiday, which is the birth of Jesus. While they do celebrate Christmas, they are often stressed and annoyed by the prevailing holiday hustle and bustle. Do they even remember why they celebrate this festival of joy? Can parents, in particular, pass on the significance and meaning of this joyful celebration to their children? The author, Martina Pletzer, provides some introductory information about Christmas. Building on that, she analyzes the spread and development of nativity scene craftsmanship and compares two important innovators in Tyrolean nativity scene art. Finally, she emphasizes the construction of nativity scenes in elementary schools and offers some useful tips and suggestions. The book is aimed at people who wish to refresh or rediscover their faith, as well as clergy and educators.
