The Ulrich Bernardi nativity was introduced in 1962. Since then over 81 figurines have been produced. The characteristics for the Bernardi nativity include simple attire and innocent expressions. These figurines are often collected one at a time. Not every piece is available every year.
Ulrich Bernardi was born in 1925. “Working with the house of ANRI for more then 40 years, Bernardi’s religious woodcarvings including his Florentine Nativity, which was presented to Pope John Paul II at the Vatican in 1986, have earned him a world wide reputation for finely detailed and inspirational art. Hope, contendness, cheerfulness and joy distinguish all Bernardi figurines.” ANRI
