This presepio was made of clay by a Brazilian folk artist and has been in my family for many years.
My best friend gave me this snowglobe a year or two ago.
My mother-in-law passed this Mexican nacimiento on to me a couple of years ago. (She loved it so much she displayed it all year. So I do too.)
My husband and I purchased this creche not long after we were married.
My mother made this "story of the nativity" book from felt and other fabrics in the late 60's/early 70's following a pattern she found in a magazine. (Anyone else out there make one from the same pattern?)
In sweet jubilation, now sing and be joyous!
Our heart’s joy lies in a manger
and shines like the sun in his mother’s lap.
Our heart’s joy lies in a manger
and shines like the sun in his mother’s lap.

You have a lovely collection of nativity. I just started collecting and have only 3 bought from different countries.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you came by my blog and let me know you had posted your own nativity scenes. I especially love the Mexican one since I'm of Mexican descent. How lovely! They're all lovely! The snow globe is precious.
