Fontanini Centennial Baby Jesus with Manger – 5" Scale

SKU: 57513

At the heart of every Nativity lies the Christ Child, and the Fontanini Centennial Baby Jesus with Manger honors that sacred moment with exceptional artistry and meaning. Created to commemorate 100 years of Fontanini craftsmanship, this beautifully detailed 5" scale figure reflects the devotion, tradition, and timeless quality collectors cherish.

The Infant Jesus rests gently in a basket-style manger with sculpted straw detailing and a wood-like base, evoking the humble beauty of the first Christmas. The fully removable Baby Jesus allows for flexible display and meaningful family traditions—perfect for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day placement. As a Centennial edition, this piece holds special significance, celebrating a century of faith-inspired artistry.

Handcrafted and hand-painted in Italy by Fontanini, this heirloom-quality figure is made from durable polymer and designed to be treasured for generations.

The Fontanini Nativity tradition began over a century ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, in the hills of Tuscany, when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop in 1908. What started as a humble family endeavor has grown into a world-renowned legacy of finely sculpted Nativity figures, still guided today by multi-generational artisans and time-honored techniques.

That tradition proudly continues at House of Fontanini. For over 25 years, we have been a locally owned small business dedicated not only to selling Fontanini—but truly loving it. From our Minnesota warehouse, our mission remains the same: “Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
