My third one! Yes, they're that good!
I bought the first one for myself as a confirmation gift because one of our Deacons, in a class for new Catholics, said every Catholic home must have a few things - one of them was a statue or photo or painting, etc., of our Blessed Mother Mary. I bought the second for a woman in my Bible study, who is from Peru and just moved into a new home. I bought the third one for my sister, because when she saw a photo of mine, she fell in love with it - not for the religious appeal, but from a folk art perspective - and after looking at many online, I can't agree more. I watched the video of how the artisan makes the retablo and it added even greater value to it. I simply love them. I love the scene behind Mary - the high mountains, and the flowers, in a wooden box with doors. I mounted mine on a wall in my home office and see it from where I sit. I'm buying the next one as a thank you gift for a close friend who I will be visiting in a few weeks.

This is an adorable nativity scene!
As I unwrapped each of these six adorable ceramic figures I kept saying "oh, this is so cute"! The ceramic figures are cute and adorable, and I am so glad I purchased this nativity scene from this artisan. I love the Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus and the 3 animals that are there to adore him (a white sheep, brown deer and black and white spotted cow). The ceramic pieces are very well made and painted extremely well. I just can't tell you how much I love this "In the Stable" nativity scene and I believe you will enjoy it as much as I do. Thank you to Mrs. Davila for creating this and an early Merry Christmas to her!
