Of all the Nativity scenes I have, this one though the newest ~ for me is filled with magic. It start out in raw materials in Uganda ; each piece delicately and lovely created by caring human hands. When my sets (yes I had to order 2... something just told me I would want to share this treasure with someone special) it was a wonderful feeling to know that I was holding in my hand a unique one of a kind made with love and care by human hands piece. But more than that through my treasure I was helping these women in Uganda to become self reliant.

How beautiful and what a wonderful cause! We have a sweet little nativity set that my mom gave me for my first apartment. It was made by missionary nuns in Guatemala. Unfortunately, last year our dog chewed on the baby Jesus (yeah, I laugh when I say it out loud, too) and he's worse for wear. So, we may need to shop for another set and let that one be displayed in one of the kids' rooms. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful nativity scene. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous and unique Nativity. I love Nativity scenes. I brought out the one we had when I was a child. The poor thing has seen better days, but it is the one I love best.

What a unique and beautiful nativity set. We have one of bamboo that we purchased while living in the Philippines...it hold so many memories...I bet this one does too.

this nativity scene is great...and what you wrote of how it was made by people in Uganda is beautiful. I also love the colorful stained glass art....
