nativity figures

Celebrating the Christian nativity, this set of figurines is created by Peruvian artisan Milton Rios. He works with blue molten glass, forming the figure of Joseph and Mary, their bodies combined in an abstract style to form a cradle in between them. Painted by hand with gleaming gilt, each figurine is accompanied by a petite baby Jesus that fits within the cradle.

When the miracle in Bethlehem blessed the world with God's son, an archangel guided and protected the holy family with his tender wings. Motivated by this story of sacrifice and unconditional love, Guatemalan artisan Liz Oliva uses her expertise in pottery arts to create this ceramic semi-abstract sculpture whose pieces represent God's will protecting Joseph in his role as a family head, Mary in her role as a sweet nurturer and baby Jesus in all his innocence.

Artisan Mony Lemus of Mexico travels to a time of miracles with a nativity scene. Made on glass, figures of aluminum and zinc alloy assume the form of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus, surrounded by gentle animals, announcing the arrival of a time where love triumphs.
