{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}The Nativity in Bethlehem, as recounted in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, presents the story of Jesus Christ’s birth. According to these accounts, Mary and Joseph traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem for a census but found no room at the inn. Jesus was born in a stable, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and placed in a manger. This powerful narrative has inspired Christians for over two millennia, symbolizing hope, humility, and divine love. Right now, 1 oz Silver Bethlehem Nativity Rounds are available at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 1 oz Silver Bethlehem Nativity Round is offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and is enclosed in a protective capsule. These rounds are part of a unique selection from Scottsdale Mint, specifically designed for the holiday season.
Obverse
The obverse of this Silver Bethlehem Nativity Round showcases a festive version of the Scottsdale emblem. The famous Scottsdale Lion, depicted as a front-facing crowned lion head, is centered in the design and encircled by wreath boughs. The field includes identifying hallmarks, along with a background of gentle snowflakes. These inscriptions read GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST, AND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN, ONE TROY OZ 9999 SILVER, and SCOTTSDALE MINT.
Reverse
On the reverse of the 1 oz Silver Bethlehem Nativity Round, you will find a touching interpretation of the classic Nativity scene. Baby Jesus lies in a small manger, with Mary kneeling at his side and Joseph standing nearby, watching over his family. The scene is enriched by various barn animals, capturing the essence of this sacred moment.
History
The imagery of the Nativity scene, often referred to as a crche, has become an iconic representation of Christmas worldwide. Popularized by St. Francis of Assisi in the 13th century, these displays typically feature figurines of Mary, Joseph, the infant Jesus, shepherds, animals, and the three Wise Men. The Nativity scene serves as a reminder of the religious roots of Christmas, helping believers reflect on the meaning of Christ’s birth amidst the often commercialized holiday season.
