Traditional nativities with separate figures

When most people think of a nativity, they are thinking of a stable with Mary, Joseph, Jesus, shepherds, kings and animals. I really enjoy finding unique nativities. So far I have concentrated on categorizing nativities in many different ways. In this blog I want to showcase what people would think of as traditional.- the ones with a stable and separate figures.

The only nativity we have with a wire stable

Found this at Walmart. 

An interesting fiber optic nativity. Some of the pieces are glued down and others are loose

This nativity was our first nativity. The figures are resin. We bought this nativity soon after we moved into our house when our daughters were young. I have used the figures to decorate Birthday Cakes for Jesus when we were doing Chirldrens Church and later in Awana. It did not come with a stable, so the stable we use with it has changed over the years as we acquire stables at yard sales.

This is a very heavy smaller nativity.

We bought these figures separately at the dollar store. We did not realize that Joseph's hands were broken off. So we call this the broken hand nativity. We found the stable at another time (probably in a yard sale).  Although from the dollar store, the details on the figures is wonderful

This colorful nativity came with the base rather than a stable 

Bought this nativity at Giant Food Store

Small nativity that came with this simple stable
