Details

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, the Three Wise Men wearing golden crowns, and a donkey and cow. Ramos carves each figurine by hand from pinewood that was weathered and dried during the summer months. The characters' florid orange robes and green cloaks are painted by hand. Featuring 10 pieces with protective felt on the bottom, this nativity scene preserves a tradition that was brought to Guatemala in 1649.

Joseph's hand with staff and Gabriel's wings are removable.

"Heirloom quality"

While I am not Christian, I appreciate a well-mad nativity scene. The colors are appealing and the design beautiful. These sold very quickly in my retail store, while many other nativity sets are still here after December 25th.

"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.
