Jose Arriola crafts this delightful 12 piece nativity scene in hand-painted ceramic. Dressed in the apparel worn in Santa Catalina Palopo, the angel Gabriel joins Mary, Joseph and the infant Jesus. The Three Kings visit the tender scene while an ox, a donkey and a shepherd with lambs gaze in awe at the Holy Family. "I'm a person of fervent faith," the Guatemalan artisan confides. "Crafting these nativity scenes brings me great joy."
