STALL NATIVITY SCENE
STALLKRIPPE
Stall Nativity Scene

Stall Nativity Scene

The landscape of Bethlehem in mind. On the outskirts of the village the remaining walls of a burnt down house. A remnant of the last war. Shepherds have formed a stall by adding a few beams and planks of wood to make a roof. People and animals can use it as a shelter against the burning sun and the rain.

Apart from that, it is much like the stalls to be found in Israel today - open to the elements.
Really no more than a miserable hut.

At first the banner in front of this nativity scene seems ironical:

...We have seen his glory...
John 1, 14

The contrast between the godly and the human point of view. The mystery of this birth! Shepherds and lords kneeling together in adoration before the child, the king.
Animals are also present. Just as they were, when God brought them to the people, who were to name them...


Nuremberg March 1999
