In the Abbazia di San Michele Arcangelo on the island of Procida is a nativity scene made almost entirely of sea shells.
Somebody clearly took a lot of time to create the little scene which includes some daily life scenes as well as the wise men, shepherd and the baby Jesus with Mary and Joseph in the stable.
I love to find these little treasures on my travels. I am constantly amazed by the things that people do.
Seashell crafts are very popular and have a long tradition in that area of Italy. Souvenir and craft shops have plenty of boxes and other objects decorated with seashells. I have seen very small nativity sets, but not such a large and elaborated one.
