The gangs all here.”

Very colorful nativity. The small figures fit on a plate. I can also see displaying it alone with a stable or forest background.

Outstanding Nativity Set”

I lived near Antigua in a small village, teaching English as a volunteer. It was a wonderful experience and this nativity set is representative of that part of Guatemala. It is beautiful and well crafted.
