“We currently have 922 nativity scenes from 68 different countries. This really allows us to discover the world through nativity scenes. We have all kinds of nativity scenes, and it’s great.”

(Jean-Pierre Verschelde, nativity scene collector)

"My favorite nativity scene is this one, it's a nativity scene we found at the Colmar Christmas market made with gingerbread and sugar. It's made by the artist Marquetta, and when we see how she uses sugar like lace, it's an amazing nativity scene.
