Hum 2230/M – Calf

Strictly speaking, the ox and the donkey were not part of the original Nativity story – yet today they are considered indispensable companions at the birth of Jesus. They warm the newborn child of Mary and Joseph and lovingly welcome Him into the world. It is said that this tradition dates back to Saint Francis of Assisi, who in 1223 created the first live Nativity scene – naturally set in a stable with living animals.

The individual figures of our Nativity set make perfect gifts for the Advent season or as a meaningful present under the Christmas tree. Many Hummel collectors treasure their Nativity scene as part of a long-standing tradition, setting it up each year with their families.

Whether you gift it to yourself or to a loved one, the Nativity scene brings with it a truly Christian and contemplative Christmas spirit.
