Nativities of the World
by Susan Topp Weber
This book includes photographs of over ninety-six nativities
from all over the world. Each nativities is shown in full
color, with supporting text by Susan Topp Weber. The appendix
lists where collections of nativities can be seen in the
United States and Europe.
The nativities that appear in Weber's book have never been
published. Their materials range from wheat straw
(Bangladesh) to wrought iron (Ecuador) to churro wool
(Navajo) to felt (Kazakhstan) to stone (Peru). An Australian
version features native animals, such as kangaroos.
A Slovakian artist created a nativity from corn husks. A
Czech fiber artist wove the Holy Family from bobbin lace. An
Irish knitter stitched the stable scene in wool. An Hawaiian
artist made the shelter from a coconut; the star above it is
a tiny starfish.
Susan began collecting in 1965 and has sold nativities since
1978 in her Santa Fe shop, Susan's Christmas Shop.
