Itsy Bitsy Birth of Christ

While walking outside the Barcelona Cathedral I spotted a lot of vendors selling miniature displays of the birth of Christ.

Tiny things were sold individually so you could choose what you want to fill in to your little birth of Christ shed.

little houses


miniature baskets


There were also other livestocks and daily chores replicating the life of that century.

miniature ducklings


Can you imagine how tiny these ducklings were?

Let me show you an adult miniature rabbit in hand ratio.

Along with all the workers going about in their daily chores.
