Donkey figurine

Particularly well done, with a very expressive look, it is very realistic and brings your Christmas crib to life.

I warm the baby Jesus with my hot breath. Tradition has it that the Virgin Mary is next to the donkey because it is on her back that she arrived as far as Bethlehem, then fled to Egypt. She donated to the donkey of Provence at that time the Croix de Saint André (The cross of Provence).

The Bible says that the couple Joseph and Mary, originally from Nazareth, went to Bethlehem to be registered. Marie was pregnant and was riding a donkey. Not having found any accommodation available, they only had a stable to rest. It was then that Marie gave birth.

It must be accompanied in the crib with the santon of Jesus and that of Joseph and the Virgin Mary without forgetting the ox.

Christmas village figurines

All our santons are real Provencal Christmas santons. They have been handcrafted in terracotta and painted by hand for 3 generations.

Each subject is first modeled by hand to create the mold. In production, each subject is hand painted, color by color, in oils and acrylics.

The Christmas crib must be "the reflection of oneself" !!! It is not a fixed tradition where you have to adhere to strict specifications. But on the contrary, you can, by creating it, give free rein to your imagination and integrate your personal touches according to your passions and desires.

It begins to be installed on the first Sunday of the Advent period (the 4th Sunday before Christmas) and will be dismantled by candlelight on February 2.

The Christmas crib represents the life of a Provencal village and its inhabitants in the 18th century. So avoid representing all the professions, characters or animals that did not exist in a Provencal village at that time (footballer, lion, crocodile, etc.).

All the figurines in the manger must give the impression of advancing towards the baby Jesus, in order to bring him a present, and none must turn their backs on it.

Respect for proportions is very important ... Do not put a sheep larger than a character for example !!! Adapt the decorations and houses to the size of the chosen santons. A perspective can also be very interesting, when you have enough depth. The largest sizes of santons will be in front, and the smallest at the bottom, in height. To heighten your perspective you can use cardboard, stones, or kraft paper.

To make your decorations, use the elements which are found in nature: Moss, branch of cypress, olive tree, thyme or rosemary, stones, pebbles, cork bark, earth ... accessories, put a well, a bridge, a mill and a stable where the Nativity will be installed. You can also put cabins, country houses ... A river can be created with blue paper scratched with white paint or aluminum foil.

Good lighting will bring out the landscape, avoid multicolored garlands. You can also light your homes from the inside, trying to hide your bulbs as much as possible. By respecting all this you will normally have a beautiful Christmas crib, made in the provencal tradition.
