Also: Nativity Scenes, Fontanini Nativity Scenes, Nativity Outdoor Sets,, Indoor Nativity Sets

Nativity scenes at Christmas have been a tradition that goes back way before the use of electric Christmas lights. Two recent developments, though, have brought about a change in Christmas nativity scenes.

The first recent trend has been the wide use of Christmas lights on various types of Christmas displays, not just on Christmas trees. The second trend has been the use of large or giant Christmas decorations outside of homes and commercial premises.

With those two strong commercial trends, it is hardly surprising that outdoor nativity scenes and sets have become available in prelit form, with figures and objects being highlighted at night by an array of Christmas lights.

Such lit nativity scenes can have quite a magical appeal, in the way the lights provide an outline for the main characters and locations of the Christmas nativity and the birth of Jesus.

The three pictures here are all based on various elements of the story of Jesus's birth in Bethlehem about 2000 years ago. Each uses lights to create the shapes of the settings and characters. This adds another modern dimension to both nativity sets, and to outside Christmas decorations in general. Contemporary technology and methodology are brought together to recreate an event that took place two millennia ago. For those whose Christmas is still a Christian religious occasion, this combination is especially attractive.

In the examples pictured, a simple stable scene with Mary Joseph and baby Jesus in a manger is created through single colored lights. The center picture is an equally simple representation of three wise men, a popularly known part of the old Christmas story. The final outdoor nativity scene shown is really for a large public display, although if you have the funds to spare, it would definitely make an impact in your locality if displayed outside your home, in the yard or garden. This large collection of foldable, pre-lit nativity figures could go in your yard or on the roof, illuminated and impressing for all passers-by. This nativity set includes a lamb, shepherd, and camel,standing camel, donkey, and palm tree, with Joseph, Mary, and Jesus plus a small stable, 3 wise men: and a star of Bethlehem.
