Crib (Nativity Scene) was created by the famous Slovenian art historian dr. Emilian Cevc (1920-2006). It's a stage type of Bavarian cribs. Dr. Emilijan Cevc found inspiration for figures and composition in the late medieval frescoes from Slovenian churches, especially from the church of St. Primus and St. Felician above Kamnik and Križna gora. The crib is placed on the home soil below the Kamnik Mountains and are showing the life in the late Middle Ages (around 1500). The scenery of the Kamnik Alps with the Kamnik saddle is the work of the architect Boris Kobet.
