This is a proper Epiphany Crib. It is not in a stable, there are no oxen or ass standing by, no shepherds, no angels. There is the Holy Family with the Christ Child, and the Three 'Kings' - even the camel is optional (if no less splendid for that). I took this on the Feast of the Epiphany, today, at my former convent. The figures are at least two feet high, but I was so moved that I was unwilling to go up close for a more 'arty' shot.
