14 Piece Olive Wood Nativity and Manger Set

A distinct gift from the Holy Land: Baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Magi, Shephearder with Lamb, Barn Animals, and Manger. This set is hand made in the Holy city of Bethlehem. Not just a Christmas decoration, but a work of art. This set has the highest level of detailed carvings that we offer: The expressions on the faces are readable, the clothing hangs realistically off the figures, and even the animals are textured. Mary, Joseph, the Magi, and a Shepherded are all paying homage to Baby Jesus. These high detailed carvings are lovingly hand carved out of Olive Wood that is native to the Holy Land. Olive Wood has a rich beautiful natural dark grain that contrasts against the lighter color of the wood. The figures are free standing, allowing you to arrange them however is appropriate in your home. Each set is unique and distinct. The figures are not molded. The scene is not prefabricated. Every piece is carefully hand crafted and then hand assembled by a Christian Family in the Holy City of Bethlehem. No two Nativity sets are the same. All the wood used is Olive Wood that is locally grown in orchards between the Holy Cities of Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Olive Trees do not grow from seeds: they are grafted, like vines. Some of Olive trees are hundreds of years old. The families of artisans that have been producing these carvings have been doing so for hundreds of years. Most people cannot travel to the Holy Land. Let us bring the Holy Land to you. Grace your home with this unique and impressive Nativity, a true piece of the Holy Land, can bring to someone
