Nativity needlepoint patterns

The Nativity in three scenes: the Holy Family under a stable roof, the Christ child in the manger, and the three wise men side by side.

Each is drawn in several styles, all on a four-inch square for 18 mesh. These are detailed pieces: most are marked intermediate. Sort the threads by number before you begin, and start early if the piece is meant for this Christmas, because finishing takes time too.
