The Found Nativity





In the past when storing things in the attic it had been discovered that the previous owners had left some things in the attic. One of those things was a nativity. Our nativity was nice, but some was built out of saguaro cactus skeleton and on its last legs. Also the figures in the found nativity were marked "Woolworth" and "Made in Japan". Add that to the fact that the wise men had color (when's the last time anyone saw THAT?) which according to the bible and where they came from would be about right, we decided that this would be our new nativity. The fireplace mantle is deep enough to hold it, and it also has an outlet so we can put the lights up for stars as we like to do.
