Quick answerThis is our smallest Baby Jesus: a painted figure in a white cloth, lying on natural hay in a 3.5 in wooden mini manger with crossed legs. It is made in Poland and sized for small nativity sets, mini manger scenes and spots where a larger crib would not fit.
Small nativity sets need a small Baby Jesus. In a scene where Mary and Joseph are only a few inches tall, a full-size crib looks out of place. The 3.5 in mini manger keeps the proportions right.

Which size Baby Jesus do I need?
Measure Mary in your set; the Baby Jesus should look like a newborn beside her. The 3.5 in mini manger suits small and tabletop sets. For medium sets choose the 4 in manger, and for larger stables the 5 in manger crib.
