Virtual Nativity Displays
Everyone loves to visit a nativity display and see the treasures of someone's collection! But most nativity displays are only available at Christmas time. What do you do the rest of the year?
Friends of the Creche members can walk through virtual displays all year long!

Nativities with Friends: Online Gatherings
In 2024, we kicked off a series of scheduled online gatherings as Zoom meetings. Each session features members showing their creche collections and presentations related to managing a nativity collection, shopping for nativities, and a variety of other topics. Some of the gatherings will be available only to members.
Friends of the Creche members will also be able to view video recordings of past online gatherings.
Facebook Chat Group
We have created a public Facebook group called Friends of the Nativity as a place to chat with other Friends of the Creche members and nativity enthusiasts from around the world. This is the perfect place to lend your knowledge and expertise with others, as well as share pictures and stories, buy and sell nativities, and ask questions of other collectors. Friends of the Nativity is a community of enthusiasts who want to talk nativities!
