Justo Xuana: Nativity Creche Alebrije

This charming handcrafted nativity set by Oaxacan artist Justo Xuana captures the warmth and devotion of the Christmas story through vibrant color and folk charm. Each of the eleven wooden figures,  Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, the Three Wise Men, an angel, and the stable animal, is individually carved and painted with expressive detail. Xuana’s figures are characterized by their serene faces and bright garments in hues of turquoise, pink, red, yellow, and green, adorned with delicate gold accents and floral motifs. The angel’s golden wings and the gentle gazes of Mary and Joseph give the scene a heartfelt sense of reverence. At the same time, the cheerful colors reflect the celebratory spirit of Oaxacan Christmas traditions.  This nativity is not only a beautiful symbol of faith but also a joyful piece of cultural heritage, an authentic expression of devotion and artistry from the heart of Oaxaca.
