\r\n
Exceptional heirloom-quality, nativity settings, with amazing details and magical ambiance, completely crafted in wood, presented with simply stunning, distinctive figures with richly textured carving, created by European artisans.
\r\nIn 1223, a humble friar named Francis created the first nativity on the hillside of Greccio, near Assisi, in Italy. From the simple devotions of St. Francis of Assisi to the magnificent craftsmanship of the Renaissance \"presepi,\" the nativity or creche has remained a symbol of faith and hope for centuries.
\r\nEach one of these distinctive settings...known as nativities, creches, stables, mangers, krippen, nacimientos, belen, presepios... are created entirely in wood, with stone and other natural materials, in Navidad's Bucks County, Pennsylvania Sanctuary Atelier, by Michael Joseph Stumpf and Anthony Joseph \"A.J.\" DiAntonio. A selection of inspiring and distinctive nativity figures with hand-painted features and delicate beauty are gathered from around the world and meet Navidad's discriminating approval for quality, scale, gestures, rich coloring and details.
