Hipster Nativity Set: What Would The Nativity Scene Look Like If Jesus Was Born In 2016
Rokas L BoredPanda staff
Have you ever wondered what the nativity scene would look like if Jesus was born in 2016? We haven’t either. But Casey Wright did. Now, three wise men are bringing Amazon Prime gifts on Segways, Joseph is rocking a man bun and taking a selfie of himself, Mary (who is doing the infamous “duckface”, showing a peace sign and holding a cup of latte) and the baby. All these and other small details are part of this Hipster Nativity Set.
“After a few beers, we started joking about how religions would be different if their sacred texts were set in modern times,” Modern Nativity’s founder Casey Wright said. “We have quickly found out that this product is very polarizing,” he claimed. “It’s usually, ‘This is hilarious, I need one,’ or ‘This is sacrilegious, I hope you burn in hell,’ and almost nothing in between those two extremes.”
The set which features 7-inch hand-painted polyresin figurines costs $129.99. What do you think about this modern take on Bethlehem’s famous night?

What do you think ?
Awww..... Nice try, but... Jesus was born in the middle east... I'm afraid if he wete to be born this year, it would have sadly looked a lot more dramatic. Considering the current... politcal-religious situation there, and the war.... Yeah, I'm not fun at parties, sorry.
hahaha "i'm not fun at parties" the people who say this are the most fun to hang with
Thank you. ♥
the nativity scene now in the middle east would be pretty much like the original one
So true! And as Bethlehem's population is mostly Muslim today, the nativity might look very different. Hmmm... :/
Indeed. Well, as stated in the text, this was result of a beer joke anyway, but I wish people payed more attention to... "details".
I agree Daria. And I AM fun at parties. BTW - Don't be sorry, nothing to be sorry for, your answer was spot on!
Thanl you, Yvonne. Well, being fun at parties or not doesn't really matter in this case, but I had to say it because I was kinda spoiling the fun.
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
You're welcome. ♥
The only man who could possibly save the world,would probably be prevented from entering any country... Ironic really...
Where's the donkey?
It's at an ass-rescue preserve. They traded it in for a mule.....get it? (Mules are hybrids!)
