Ceramic nativity scene, 'Hope of the Andes' (7 pieces)
This is Such a Sweet Nativity Set
I know that I cannot be the only one who displays a Nativity Set all year! The faces (even those on the animals) are just so sweet and appealing that when Christmas was over, I found I didnt want to tuck this away until next year. So I found a place in our guest room for it year round. Love the colors and the meticulous craftsmanship.
Wood retablo, 'Virgin Mary'
By Suezy
My third one! Yes, theyre that good!
I bought the first one for myself as a confirmation gift because one of our Deacons, in a class for new Catholics, said every Catholic home must have a few things - one of them was a statue or photo or painting, etc., of our Blessed Mother Mary. I bought the second for a woman in my Bible study, who is from Peru and just moved into a new home. I bought the third one for my sister, because when she saw a photo of mine, she fell in love with it - not for the religious appeal, but from a folk art perspective - and after looking at many online, I cant agree more. I watched the video of how the artisan makes the retablo and it added even greater value to it. I simply love them. I love the scene behind Mary - the high mountains, and the flowers, in a wooden box with doors. I mounted mine on a wall in my home office and see it from where I sit. Im buying the next one as a thank you gift for a close friend who I will be visiting in a few weeks.
Ceramic nativity scene, 'Born in the Amazon' (set of 7)
By Sandra
Well made and detailed
The nativity was very well made and detailed. The expressions on all of the faces of the Holy Family and the cute jungle animals are perfect. You can tell very quickly that the baby is a boy. I thought of putting a little blanket over him to keep him warm when I display the Nativity. I am pleased with the Nativity and am happy that I purchased it.
