Born in a manger, the Baby Jesus shows us the way of love and humility. God though He may be, the Heavenly child submits to the care of His Blessed Mother Mary and the protection of His guardian Joseph as He begins His mission on earth. The Christ child grows up to be gentle, obedient and hardworking, soon learning the fine skill of carpentry from His foster father Joseph, who is himself a man of humility, industry and devotion to the Lord. In His trade as a carpenter, Jesus shows us that hardship in labor, in turning lowly materials such as wood into a beautiful creation, renders glory to God, who looks upon the humble. Our Nativity on Natural Wood brings right into every home that message of humility, which Jesus began in His earthly life. Simple yet detailed, our icon of the Holy Family has been lovingly created by artisans supported by NVC in their own livelihood. Much like Joseph’s craftsmanship, our artisan-beneficiaries have turned materials such as wood and egg shells into a masterpiece. Made of pulverized eggshells mixed with binder and topped with eggshell mosaic mounted on natural wood. Comes with a customized padded box.
