Escultura de Belén

Escultura de Belén refers to the artistic creation of nativity scenes, depicting the birth of Jesus Christ, commonly found in Spanish-speaking countries during Christmas. These sculptures often include figures such as Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, shepherds, angels, and animals, arranged in a stable setting. Artists craft these figures using various materials like clay, wood, or ceramics, emphasizing realism and detail. The tradition serves as both religious worship and cultural expression, celebrating the nativity story and fostering community engagement during the holiday season.
