“A Cherished Reminder of Our Love”

I am fascinated by the folk-art simplicity of the figures in this set. They perfectly capture the spirit of love and peace that the Nativity represents. I bought it as a Christmas gift for my wife two years ago. She adored it; and now that she has died, I treasure it as a reminder of her and our 40 years of shared love.

Thanks for this adorable Nativity set that represents the Mapuche people of Chile. My son is serving a mission in Chile, teaching people about Jesus Christ. This will be a perfect keepsake to remember his time in Chile, and the birth of Jesus Christ
