° CRECHE FIGURES, something [ike those below, are an important part of Christmas art in Mexico. They range from groupings so tiny they
could rest int the palm of your hand to carvings and casts.of heroic size. Above are some modern examples of the pifiata, the traditional

one of the Christmas parties. The pinata was originally a purely Yule-tide custom but has since been taken into fiestas the year around.
