Family life isn't "scriptural" either. That doesn't mean the Church disparages it.

The "stage props" to which you refer are designed to put a person in mind of the mysteries of God, to prepare a person emotionally for contemplation of our Lord. As such they are adjuncts to, not replacements for, the Holy Scriptures. They conduce to a more vivid sense of the Holy.
