Representation of the Nativity and Nativity Scene in rocks
Damien Luce wrote "If flint is the stone of war, the pebble is that of love, polished by the waters of tenderness." So if the pebble is the stone of love, why not paint them to make an original nativity scene 🥰 ?
When painted rocks become santons
We can make a nativity scene with only Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Placed on a plaster stand with a candle, this makes a perfect Christmas table decoration.
Making a nativity scene with rocks is a great DIY activity to do with your children. They Could play with santons and you won't be afraid that they will break them.
Then you can balance your rocks with straw or coloured powder.
Adapting to the shape of each rock allows you to let your creativity speak. As each rock is unique, you will have a unique nativity scene !
