    ROMANIA 🇷🇴 This wood carved plaque depicts the Holy Family in a stable. In the background is a ladder, perhaps a symbol from the artist for the stairway to heaven. Often found in nativity scenes, the ladder is a reminder of why Christ was born: to bring salvation to us all.

    PORTUGAL 🇵🇹 This nativity style originates in the city of Estremoz. The setting is like the religious shrines seen at festivals that placed figures of saints on staircase shaped thrones. The shepherds in this crèche are dressed in the clothing of the Estremoz rural communities.

    UK 🇬🇧/WALES 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿While the Gospel of Matthew tells of the Magi, it does not provide the number who followed the star. Pope Leo the Great decided if there were 3 gifts, there was most likely 3 Magi who paid homage to the Christ Child.
