This 3D paper scene brings the very first Christmas to life, with baby Jesus lying in the manger and Mary and Joseph gathered around him. After the long journey to Bethlehem, there was no room at the inn, so the Saviour of the world was born in a humble stable and laid in a feeding trough for animals. As children build the scene, they can picture how God chose the lowliest of places to send his greatest gift. The lesson is gentle and lasting: Jesus came humbly, in love, for each one of us.

Luke 2:1-7
