What is a Baby Jesus figure?
The Baby Jesus figure represents the Son of God in his childhood, a central symbol of the Christian faith. This resin marble image combines beauty and devotion, used both in nativity scenes and home altars during Christmas to express love, humility, and adoration to the Savior.
Baby Jesus is an essential figure of the nativity scene or crèche, representing the mystery of the Incarnation.
According to the Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy No. 104, preparing the Nativity at home helps families to contemplate the love of God made child and to keep the memory of Christmas alive.
The presence of Infant Jesus in the home invites prayer and joy, recalling the words of the prophet Isaiah: “a child is born to us, a son is given to us” (Is 9:5), a sign of messianic hope and peace. Placing his image in the nativity scene is an expression of faith and gratitude.
Material and Finish of the Figure
Made of resin marble, a durable material with a fine texture that allows the facial features and garments to be finely defined.
The natural-tone polychromy faithfully reproduces the classic image of the reclining Baby Jesus.
The golden halos symbolize the divine glory that emanates from His person.
Each piece undergoes a manual finishing process to enhance the details of the face, hands, and folds of the tunic, achieving an aesthetic balance between art and devotion.
The three golden halos that crown the head of Baby Jesus represent the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This artistic motif, present in Christian imagery since the 17th century, highlights His divine and glorious nature even in the humility of the manger.
The gold of the rays evokes the light of God that illuminates the world and the holiness of the Child. Thus, the Baby Jesus figure becomes a visual catechesis on faith and the mystery of Christmas.
Use and Placement in the Nativity Scene
The Infant Jesus figure can be placed at the center of the Nativity or crèche, accompanied by the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph. It is customary to place it on December 24th, before Midnight Mass, when the faithful kiss the image as a sign of adoration.
It may also remain displayed on a small home altar during the Christmas season, recalling the mystery of the Incarnation and the joy of the Savior’s birth.
