Baby Jesus Cradles

The cradles for Baby Jesus in the nativity scene vary in style and material, ranging from the simplest and humblest representations to the most baroque and elaborate ones. They are often made of wood or resin, sometimes decorated with straw to recall the simplicity of birth. Some cradles are more elaborated, with carvings or golden details, while others are simpler to maintain the atmosphere of modesty and purity of the nativity scene. The cradle is positioned at the center of the Nativity scene, welcoming the figure of Baby Jesus as the centerpiece of the nativity scene.
