Birth of Christ - Fontanini® 5" Collection

irth of Christ – 5" Scale Nativity Figure

House of Fontanini – Item #53513

The sacred wonder of Christmas is beautifully revealed in the Fontanini Birth of Christ – 5" Scale figure. This tender scene captures Mary and Joseph lovingly presenting the newborn Christ, wrapped in swaddling clothes and ready to be placed in the humble manger before them. Quiet, reverent, and deeply meaningful, this moment reflects the fulfillment of heaven’s promise in Bethlehem.

Part of the Life of Christ Collection, this figure serves as a meaningful centerpiece for any 5" scale Fontanini Nativity display. The gentle expressions, flowing garments, and intimate composition invite reflection, devotion, and tradition—making it a treasured addition for collectors and families alike.

The Fontanini Nativity tradition began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, nestled in the hills of Tuscany. In 1908, Emanuele Fontanini opened his first shop, beginning a family legacy that would grow into one of the world’s most beloved creators of heirloom-quality Nativity sets and figurines.

Today, each Fontanini figure is meticulously sculpted, molded from durable polymer, and hand-painted by skilled artisans in Italy, following a multi-generational process that preserves the artistry and reverence of the original workshop.

At House of Fontanini, we proudly carry on this sacred tradition through both retail and e-commerce at HouseofFontanini.com. For over 25 years, our locally owned Minnesota small business has served collectors and families who cherish the beauty of the Nativity. From our warehouse, we lovingly share Fontanini with the world while living our mission:

“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”

Whether you are building a new Nativity display or adding to a treasured collection, the Birth of Christ figure brings faith, devotion, and timeless beauty to your Christmas tradition.
