The Christensen Nativity Scene, a note from James Christensen from Greenwich Workshop.
James C. Christensen Brings His Rich Storytelling. To His Interpretation Of The Nativity
The Angels: Gabriel and Evangeline "What is a nativity scene without angels?" asks Jim Christensen. " The angels who appear in the Bible are always male, but many angels found in the world of art seem to be female. I see both their roles in the nativity as messengers. Gabriel was the biblical messenger who came to Mary with the annunciation of her role in the birth of the Christ child, so it is likely that he would have shown up at the birth. Evangeline's name translates to 'good tidings,' a central theme to Christmas."
Glorianna and The Creche
"A nativity would be incomplete without something representing the manger. I've chosen to adorn a very gothic arch with an angel I've named Gloriana, a witness from above, to the glory of the moment and things to come."
The Holy Family: Mary, Joseph and Jesus
The Three Wisemen: Caspar, Balthasar and Melchior
The new edditions: Darius the Camel, Camelus Dromedarius (that's one hump, not two), the "ship of the desert." So important were camels to life and travels in the deserts of the Middle East that in the language of the Bedouin the words for "camel" translate to "God's gift." It seems fitting that a caravan of beasts so aptly named would have transported these gift-bearing wise men as they followed the star that foretold the birth of the messiah. Our particular camel was so valued by his owner that he was named for the great Persian king, Darius I and was the only camel in the train allowed to sleep in his owner's tent. . .

Also New edition, The Shepherd & The Shepherd's wife and Child The characters found in James C. Christensen's Nativity pay tribute to those found in the traditional créche while taking on qualities important to James—such as family. The Bible tells of the shepherds, who were watching over their flocks of sheep when a choir of angels appeared to them singing "Glory to God." The angels tell the shepherds to follow a bright star to Bethlehem, where they would find the newborn savior asleep in a manger. Rather than head directly to Bethlehem, this shepherd went home and gathered his wife and child, thus making this incredible journey as a family. This touching addition to the story of our Savior's birth is an inspiration to us all.

Darius the Camel: Camelus Dromedarius (that's one hump, not two), the "ship of the desert." So important were camels to life and travels in the deserts of the Middle East that in the language of the Bedouin the words for "camel" translate to "God's gift." It seems fitting that a caravan of beasts so aptly named would have transported these gift-bearing wise men as they followed the star that foretold the birth of the messiah. Our particular camel was so valued by his owner that he was named for the great Persian king, Darius I and was the only camel in the train allowed to sleep in his owner's tent.

Round John Virgin: If the name of the new addition to James C. Christensen's beloved Nativity sounds familiar, it's probably because the Christmas carol Silent Night is humming in your head. It was during a Christmas past that one of the Christensen children misheard one of the song's lyrics and asked "Who's round John?" Not missing this creative opportunity, James developed a new character for the crèche, the portly soul aptly named Round John Virgin. And who is this jolly fellow? He's the innkeeper, doing his best to accommodate this young family and provide them with all the comfort he can on this most celebrated of nights .
