hand painted artwork

Mary and Joseph, sitting under the cover of a lush tree of life, welcome Baby Jesus with loving devotion in this nativity scene. The Holy Spirit guards this endearing artwork created by Peru’s Alberto Aparicio Canchari, who crafts each ceramic piece by hand—expertly painting each one with expressive detail.

The story of the Holy Nativity teaches us that every corner of the world can be a place full of miracles and love. Following this ancient lesson, Peruvian artisans Guillermo and Eduardo handcraft a ceramic nativity scene of a typical farm family celebrating the birth of their infant. The scene is set inside a cow figure, adding a cheerful and sweet aura to the artwork.
