In the cathedral of St Paul, located in Mdina, Malta. This is just a detail of an absolutely enormous nativity scene display - and to be honest it took me quite a while to spot Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus.
The Nativity of Christ Cathedral (Kristus Piedzimšanas pareizticīgo katedrāle) in Riga was built in a Neo-Byzantine style between 1876 and 1883. It is the largest Orthodox temple in the Baltic states.

In this bleak corona year it is time for some humor....
En cette sombre année corona, il est temps pour un peu d'humour
In dit naargeestige corona jaar is het tijd voor wat humor
In diesem trostlosen Koronajahr ist es Zeit für etwas Humor
I dette dystre koronaåret er det tid for litt humor
In questo cupo anno della corona è tempo di un po 'di umorismo
En este sombrío año de la corona, es hora de un poco de humor

I received the following comment from a friend: "I don't think it's possible how you put women away like that, it might have been better if it was a woman". My response "You're right, but we'll never know"
A good friend of ours carved this little nativity set from wooden spools. The little baby can be removed from the creche - one of the smallest spools I have ever seen.

This nativity scene inspired by Beato Angelico, Botticelli's Madonna del Magnificat and minor artists of the 15th century was created by the students and teachers of the "Emilio Greco" State Art High School in Catania.

In the Christian tradition, a nativity scene is the special exhibition, particularly during the Christmas season, of art objects representing the birth of Jesus.
While the term "nativity scene" may be used of any representation of the very common subject of the Nativity of Jesus in art, it has a more specialized sense referring to seasonal displays, in particular sets of individual sculptural figures and props that are arranged for display.
The first living nativity scene, attributed to Saint Francis of Assisi, occurred in 1223 in the Italian town of Greccio. Francis had been inspired by his visit to the Holy Land, where he had been shown Jesus's traditional birthplace. (Wikipedia)
