This nativity scene by Jose Canil Ramos combines the strength of faith with traditional Guatemalan arts. Baby Jesus is welcomed by Mary and Joseph, as well as the archangel Gabriel and the Three Wise Men wearing golden crowns. Guarded by a donkey and a cow, this nativity scene is endearing. Ramos carves each figurine by hand from pinewood that was weathered and dried during the summer months. The characters' florid orange robes and purple cloaks are painted by hand, and Gabriel's wings are detachable. Featuring 10 pieces, this nativity scene preserves a tradition that was brought to Guatemala in 1649.

"Beautiful craftsmanship!"
Received my nativity set today in perfect condition. It is absolutely exquisite! The craftsmanship is outstanding! I am a collector of nativities from my travels around the world (have around 50) and I have nothing like this hand-carved set. It is petite and lovely. What makes it even more special is its long journey to reach my doorstep. I have made several trips to Guatemala, but found nothing like this while I was there. Thank you, Jose for a job well done! I will treasure this nativity set.

"This is s family heirloom now!"
Beautiful rendition of archangel Raphael. We wanted extra protection this year with do many family members having illness. We were able to generate strength and peace having this special image carved by the talented hand of Jose Ramos. The colors are very vibrant and the gold tones make this image pop out. So many family and friends now ask us to place special prayers under this sculpture and we think it is a blessing to have in our home.
