Nativity - The First Christmas Puzzle - Dowdle Premium No Glare Edition - Sneak Peek Ships 9/5

The Nativity – A Christmas Puzzle by Eric Dowdle

On one extraordinary night in Bethlehem, beneath a brilliant star, the world changed forever.

In Eric Dowdle’s The Nativity, the beloved Christmas story comes to life in a scene filled with warmth, wonder, color, and the tiny details that make a Dowdle painting so much fun to explore. At the heart of it all, Mary and Joseph gather around the newborn Jesus in the humble manger, surrounded by shepherds, sheep, animals, and an angel proclaiming the good news.

Look beyond the stable and the story continues. The Three Wise Men journey across the hills on beautifully adorned camels, following the Star of Bethlehem toward the Christ child. Shepherds approach from the countryside, Bethlehem glows against the night sky, and even the animals seem to sense that something remarkable has happened.

Eric’s whimsical folk-art style gives this timeless scene a special warmth. There is something to discover everywhere you look—from the expressive sheep wandering the hillside to the colorful Wise Men and their camels, the peaceful city in the distance, and the radiant star shining above it all.

It is a puzzle meant to be enjoyed slowly, together.

Gather around the table during the Christmas season, find a few pieces, tell a few stories, laugh when someone has been searching ten minutes for the piece sitting right in front of them, and watch the story of the first Christmas appear one piece at a time.

A Meaningful Christmas Tradition

The Nativity is more than a beautiful Christmas jigsaw puzzle. It is a celebration of faith, family, hope, and the joy of Christmas — a puzzle you can return to year after year and perhaps someday pass along as part of your own family's holiday traditions.
