Once again Christmas is just around the corner, and people are starting to decorate their homes with special holiday items like holly, Christmas trees, and candy canes. But for Christian believers the one essential element is a nativity scene, because the original meaning of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Christ. So today I', bringing you some Christmas nativity clip art images to put up on your homepage in celebration of the Christmas season, or to print out for use on your home-made Christmas cards.
If you have ever been to Bethlehem like I have, then you can imagine the real surroundings of the manger and nativity scene. Bethlehem lies near Jerusalem amongst the rolling Judaen Hills. Despite what we imagine of that region, Bethlehem is at a high elevation and does get cold in the winter. So you can imagine how cold it was during time time of Jesus birth, and that's one of the reasons it was such a shocking thing to sleep in a manger.
I hope this holiday nativity clip art for Christmas was useful and pleasant for you. Have a wonderful holiday season. Remember, the meaning of Christmas is not about materialism. It is about giving and sharing time with your loved ones in the spirit of Jesus. Merry Christmas!
