A Hebrew-style nativity scene crafted by the Xàbia Nativity Scene Association.

A Hebrew nativity scene is a traditional style of nativity-scene making that strives to be as historically and geographically faithful as possible, recreating the landscapes, architecture and dress of first-century Judea and Palestine. In Xàbia’s case, it takes the form of a large-scale Christmas exhibition, installed by the local nativity scene association at the Soler Blasco Archaeological and Ethnographic Museum.
