Christmas Day has gone but there are still nativity scenes here and there. Some are made of wood and some are made of clay (pottery). Mary and Joseph are in a stable, with the baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. In the stable there are animals as well – cows, sheep, goats, a donkey, perhaps camels. Sometimes there are several shepherds with the sheep. There's a star to guide the Wise Men from the East (the Three Kings). I saw the Three Kings reflected beside the river too.
