This set arrived in my US home the next day I ordered it from Guatemala!! Amazing delivery service!! It was a gift for a dear friend and I was so pleased at its quality and artistry. Thank you, Jos? and Novica.
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 nativity set is absolutely gorgeous! I purchased it as a gift for my Bolivian "family". I cannot wait to take it to them and see their reaction! I am so excited to have a gift that all of them can enjoy. I appreciate that a nativity set is an important part of the Bolivian Christmas traditions which makes this gift even more special. I know that the kids in the Casa that my church supports will cherish it. Jose did a beautiful job. I love how this set is a work of art appealing especially to the young adults yet the little ones can safely handle it without fear of it breaking. I may have to order another nativity set created by Jose for myself ï?Š
