Unique Ecuador nativity scene aims for historical accuracy

A hunchback with goiter, a child decapitated by a soldier, and a woman with a bloodied face are among the unusual figures in an Ecuador nativity scene that aims to provide a realistic depiction of historical life. Elsewhere, mothers breastfeed their babies, the hunchback is depicted with a swollen neck -- often a symptom of iodine deficiency -- and a scene of domestic violence shows a man threatening a woman carrying a baby on her back, as blood runs down her face.
