nativity figures (figurines, <sculpture by subject type>, ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Figures representing characters in the Christmas story, including infant Jesus in the manger, the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph, sheep, the ox and ass, and other attending figures, such as shepherds, magi, and angels. The term is usually reserved for figures in the round, excluding relief sculptures or paintings. According to legend, Saint Francis of Assisi popularized the Christmas crèche in 1223 when he used live actors to portray the scene. Nativity figures are known in most Christian countries; the height of nativity figure development occurred in 17th-19th-century Naples, when churches competed with grad displays of large figures dressed in clothing, and elaborate village scenes were included.

| Portuguese ..... Figuras que representam personagens na história de Natal, incluindo o menino Jesus na manjedoura, a Virgem Maria e São José, ovelhas, o boi e o asno, pastores, magos e anjos, entre outros. O termo é, geralmente, reservado para figuras na rodada excluindo esculturas em relevo ou pinturas. De acordo com a lenda, São Francisco de Assis popularizou o presépio de Natal em 1223 quando ele usava atores para retratar a cena ao vivo. Figuras de natividade são conhecidas em muitos países cristãos; o auge do desenvolvimento das figuras de natividade ocorreu nos séculos XVII e XIX em Nápoles, quando as igrejas concorriam com as exibições de figuras grandes vestidas e cenas elaboradas de vilas eram incluídas. |
