The perfect gift for Christmas and Epiphany, the Nativity box is made with love and deep reflection on the mystery of the incarnation and the importance of family love.
St. Irenaeus tells us that: "The reason why God became man and the Son of God, the Son of man, is so that man might become the Son of God by becoming a partaker of the Word and accepting the divine filiation. "
Christmas is the occasion to honor our filiation to God and to honor his love for us, he became very small by becoming man for us. The Three Wise Men understood this well when they gave our Lord their gifts: gold, for the King of kings, incense, for the priest of all priests, and myrrh, to honor the sacrifice of Jesus. These three gifts are present in the nativity box.
Christ became incarnate in our history not as an individual independent of any human bond, but as a member of a family. Mary and Joseph, poor as they were, did not find a place in the midst of humans and the divine child had to be born in the most miserable place possible.
In this event of the Nativity, the beauty of God's gift is manifested in the misery of human reality. God became man in a human family in order to build a spiritual family which is his living body and his people. To the right of the three vials containing the three gifts of the Magi, a relic oil of the Blessed Virgin Mary, loving mother and full of grace, and to the left the oil of St. Joseph, protector of the Holy Family and of the Church.
