.."you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." Well by now you know how much I enjoy the secular side of the Christmas season. But just as important or even more so is the TRUE meaning of Christmas; the birth of the Christ child. This nativity was given to me as a present a few years back. Forgive me for not knowing the country of origin of it, but probably Mexico or Central America, or possibly Brazil. It is made out of a gourd, believe it or not, split in half and with hand carved & painted figures. It is hinged with a small leather strap holding the halves together. I will post the other half shortly. Thanks all for your viewing & comments!!
