Kraków Szopki are a Christmas tradition originating in Kraków, Poland, dating back to the 19th century. These nativity scenes are handmade by Polish artisans in brilliant colored foils and crystals. In these nativity scenes, the Holy Family is always placed in the midst of the historic buildings of Kraków.

Our medium Kraków Szopka features the Holy Family welcoming four shepherds who have come in adoration of the newborn child. The towers of St. Mary Basilica rise above them. Beads and sequins decorate the scene. This handmade treasure measures 9" tall x 4 1/2" wide x 2" deep. The colors in the nativity you receive may not match the colors seen in the photo, but they will definitely be the rich brilliant foil colors that are traditional in Polish Nativities.
