“Arch angel Raphael and saint Jose”

there are only 2 left. and they are priceless folk art. I have ordered other treasures from this talented creator...and I am always so happy and amazed by the craft-man-ship. truly me thinks either money goes further where he lives or they need to raise the price. and st rahael the healer is very special to me and my husband....he worked at a hospital named st Raphael in New Haven .....and the day it was purchased lightning struck the hospital and the power went out...and mother superior and the other nuns/care givers were let go

“Deeply moving moment”

When I saw this on Novica, I felt tears well up. I am old and I have looked all over for, many different interpretations of, the nativity. Of all of those, this one touched me the most. Thank you.

Contemplative but joyful moments
