Lenox Holiday Nativity, Set of 7 (Holy Family, Three Kings, Angel)

This is a lovely Nativity set that includes a substantial angel. Each piece is beautifully made and expertly gilded with gold. However, if the kneeling figure with a shepherd's staff and head gear is indeed the shepherd, then there is no Joseph. I've never seen a crèche with a kneeling shepherd or Joseph, so it may be an attempt at representing Joseph and the Shepherd in one figure since there is no separate shepherd. As there are no animals, nor a crèche (manger), I searched and found an even smaller Lenox nativity set that included a manger and a lamb (that is very tiny!) The manger is small compared to the first, larger set, so I turned over an oval Lenox serving bowl and placed the manger on top of it for the background, and it actually worked out ok. I placed it all on a red napkin for a cohesive tableau, which made the ivory and gold pieces stand out.

Fue un regalo para mi suegra, no es muy grande pero esta muy lindo, le gustó mucho.

This purchase made me cry for happiness! It is so pretty!

Just what I was looking for!

This items arrived less than a week from my order despite being located in the Philippines. The Lenox packaging was well-handled, and the figurines were intact when I opened them. Beautiful holly details, and the glossy 24k gold-plated accents just shine in the candlelight.They are smaller compared to the usual nativity sets we have had in the past, but they are a scene stealer wherever we would place them! Their size also made them easier to be complemented by other Christmas accents. They finally have their place on our entrance shelf.
