Christmas figures - figures of ordinary people involved in the Christmas story

Answer 2

The small figures of wood, wax, or clay that represent figures of ordinary people involved in the Christmas story are commonly known as nativity figurines or nativity scene characters. These figurines are part of a nativity scene, also called a crèche or manger scene, which depicts the birth of Jesus Christ as described in the Christian tradition. The nativity scene typically includes the central figures of baby Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, along with other characters such as the shepherds, the Wise Men (also known as the Magi), angels, animals, and sometimes additional townspeople or villagers.
