"Reminder to Pray"
This sculpture is unusual, beautiful and a calm reminder to pray about things which are out of our control. I recently sent one as a gift to my sister who has a terminal diagnosis. She placed in a prominent place in her home to remind her that God is always with her.

"Absolutely LOVE this sculpture."
Such beautiful workmanship and heart has gone into making this beautiful sculpture. I started a new job that I new would be a bit of a challenge at first due to my lack of management experience in the past. This beautiful sculpture sits on my desk and I receive a calming sensation every time I look at it. Also, it is more beautiful in person. RW

"Beautiful reminder of meaning of Christmas"
This is truly lovely with detailed workmanship. My parish and those surrounding (L.I.,N.Y.)often have a priest from Ghana. This reminds me of their deep faith and ministry they bring to us. I now will add to year round display in china cabinet of other Nativity scenes, including others from Novica. HIS presence is present.
