ENglandChristina Orthwein lives with her family in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, where she works in her home studio and teaches ceramics and photography at Bryn Athyn CollegeBAnksyThe unique folk tradition of the szopka dates to the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In 2013 this szopka by Zbigniew Gillert was the first-place winner in a competition in the category of medium-sized Nativity scenes (szopki). Every December since 1937 a national szopka competition has taken place in the main square of Krakow. The Nativity scene takes the form of an elaborate building facade in which the tiny figures of the Holy Family are surrounded with fanciful architectural features including columns, elaborate molding, and towers topped with onion-shaped domes—features often seen on Krakow’s historic buildings.This Arbol Nacimiento (Tree Nativity) was made by Mexican ceramic artist Cecilio Sanchez Fierro. God the Father looks down from the top, flanked by the sun and the moon. The Star of Bethlehem shines above a stable, a winged angel, the Holy Family, an ox, and a donkey. The Tree of Life Nativity is a Mexican artistic tradition. The Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible describes the Garden of Eden and its Tree of Life, the fruit of which leads to eternal life.The Nativity 1857–1858 Arthur Hughes (1832–1915)Le Van Dai (Vietnamese), Nativity, 1980s.
