And, of course, meeting with our families imitating the example that the Holy Family left us.

Handmade Baby Jesus statues made in Spain

Figures of the Child Jesus made in the famous spanish workshops . These religious images are made following the craft processes established more than a century ago by the main creators of Christian art in Spain.

The characteristic features of these religious figures are:

Handmade process. The Children Jesus made in Spain, as well as all the other religious images of these workshops, are made through very laborious craft processes. Numerous specialized craftsmen are involved in the manufacturing process in each of the phases: modeling, drying, painting, decoration, etc… It is a very complex process that extends the delivery times for this type of religious figure. Depending on the figure, the delivery of one of these images could take between 4-8 weeks from purchase.

Made of pulp wood. All the religious Christmas images in Spain are made of this material (also known as wood pulp). Pulp wood is a very light and malleable material approved by the Holy See for the manufacture of religious figures.

Cristal eyes. The figures of the Children Jesus of Spain are decorated with glass eyes. The glass eyes are a feature of the catholic spaniard imagery that gives the figures a very realistic expression.

Wide variety of sizes. Spanish Christmas figures are on sale from 10 cm. up to 50 cm.

  • Halos and metal rays. Decorative element that contributes to ennoble the figures of the Child Jesus.
  • Hand painted with oil paint. The figures of the Child Jesus for Christmas are painted entirely by hand by specialized craftsmen. The painting part is very important within the Spain craft process since it allows customizing the finishes of each of the images of the Child Jesus.
  • Manufacture on request. The demand for figures of the Child Jesus, as Christmas images, increases exponentially during Christmas. Most of the buyers, of course, want to have the images to decorate their homes and parishes during the Christmas holidays. The increase in demand added to the artisanal manufacturing process means that delivery dates can be extended during Christmas. If you want to buy a figure of the spanish handmade Child Jesus, it is very important to take these delivery times into account and be proactive. The purchase of an figure made in Spain, because it is a very exclusive image, must be planned several months in advance.

  • Christmas spanish figurines and the principle of proportionality. The Christmas figures are designed for a Nativity scene of a certain size. For example, in a Nativity scene with 30 cm spanish figures. all figures will adapt to that measurement. In other words, if, for example, to that extent, if there is a figure of a sheep or a camel lying on the ground, that figure will not measure 30 cm. in height, but will have a size proportional to the images of 30 cm.
  • Progressive purchase of the spanish Nativity Scenes. The Christmas figures and manger scenes made in the spanish handmade workshops are innumerable. There are countless references to shepherds, animals, the Three Wise Men, etc... It is for this reason that the majority of buyers of Christmas imagery made in Spain decide to incorporate one or more new figures into their Bethlehem each year.

For this reason, the Nativity Scenes can be completed with pieces and figures that complement each other perfectly, without the need to acquire many pieces in a single Christmas.
