“Skeleton Nativity”

I found the concept of a skeleton nativity rather bizarre at first. A couple of conversations concerning “thin places,” where life and death, present reality and the spiritual life intersect, brought me to a different understanding. The pieces are beautifully painted.

“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
