The ox has long been part of Nativity tradition, appearing in early Christian art as a symbol of endurance and the daily life of the stable. This figure shows the ox resting on a grass base, recalling the belief that the animals kept watch and gave warmth on the night of Christ™s birth. Adding the ox to your Nativity connects your scene to centuries of history and keeps alive a detail that has made the story feel real to families for generations.
