I have several beautiful nativities. I love them all.
- My childhood nativity - it's made from wood and has lost a few parts - but Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus are still in tact. I have just been placing pinecones in the holes for the missing folks.
- My glass nativity from my friend Deedee. It is made out of frosted glass pieces and sits on a 4x4 inch mirror. It is really beautifull; especially when I place white lights next to it.
- My newest nativity is from Mom and Dad. It is a single piece of olive wood that is cut out into Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. I think it is REALLY beautiful.
- My African nativity set which I just adore. It was handcrafted in Africa out of banana leaves. I think it is hands down my favorite purchase (souvenier) that I have brought back from Africa.
Your nativity sets are beautiful. They really capture what Christmas is all about. I have a friend that has collected them for years (a pastor's wife) and they are from all of the world and have been exhibited in many places. What a worthy collection to have.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the pictures of your nativities. My favorite nativity my mom brought home for me when she visited the Holy Land ... it's carved from olive wood. Seeing your pics makes me think maybe I should start a collection
