Discover the wonder of Christmas through the quiet beauty of poetry.

In Nativity Set, poet and author Robert Hudson invites you to slow down, listen, and see the familiar Christmas story with new eyes. Each of these finely crafted rondels-an ancient poetic form once loved by the troubadours-gives voice to a figure from the creche: the shepherd, the angel, the magi, even the ox and the rooster. Together they form a "wordless lectionary," a contemplative journey through the miracle of the Incarnation.

Accompanied by Mark Sheeres's evocative illustrations and a brief history of the Christmas creche-from Francis of Assisi's first manger scene to modern-day traditions-this collection blends art, devotion, and history into one luminous celebration of faith.

Perfect for Advent reflection, Christmas morning reading, or family devotions, Nativity Set offers a tender reminder that, even in the smallest figurines and simplest rituals, the Christ Child still shines.
