“Problem with Standing”

Because several figures in the set are not level on the bottom, they either fall often or have to lean against something to stand.

“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.
