Wood retablo, 'Blue Nativity'

Sandra

Jun 17, 2016

Love the colors of the Retablo

The Nativity Retablo is a perfect size for where I want to use it. I love the blue colors of the night sky and the stars. The figures are really colorful, too. I really like it. The only problem with the "Blue Nativity" I bought--he didn't allow the colors to dry all the way, so the door stuck and some of the paint pulled away from the wood in about 5 small spots on the door and the front of the shelves. I am going to try to find some paint to match and touch up those spots, because I love the Retablo and don't want to return it. I received it more quickly than was promised, but wish that he had waited one more day to send it, to make sure the paint was dry.

Meaningful Nativity

I love this Nativity created by Dionisio Rojas. The painting of each character is beautifully detailed. Instead of Peace Nativity, I call mine, "In the Hands of God". The pictures do not capture how truly wonderful it looks.

Adorable!

This will be a cherished nativity set for our family. The painting is meticulous and the facial features are angelic. I like this smaller size set because space is limited at our house. Thank you.
