The Nativity is the second design in The Nativity Series, which also includes GP-114 We Three Kings and GP-148 On Shepherds' Watch. All three designs are stitched on 28ct Mystic Cashel Linen hand-dyed by Picture This Plus. The
Nativity is bursting with rich color, lots of Kreinik metallic thread
and a generous amount of Mill Hill beads. The design also includes the
same bright star as found in the first design.
The Nativity is the well-known story of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.
The remembrance and re-enactment of the Nativity scene are at the heart
of the Christian celebration of Christmas. Although the exact date of
His birth is undocumented, it is said that Jesus was born in the little
town of Bethlehem in Israel over 2,000 years ago.
While Mary was pregnant and near the end of term, she and her husband
Joseph traveled from their home in Nazareth (about 90 miles) south to
Joseph's ancestral home, Bethlehem, in order to register in a census
ordered by Emperor Augustus. Having arrived in Bethlehem, they found no
place for themselves in the inn, and therefore they lodged in a stable
where animals were kept. It was there that Mary gave birth to the
Messiah, the Baby Jesus.
