Imagine owning a personal treasure from the actual time and place where Christ was born. Now by special arrangement Hawthorne Village is able to bring you the Genuine Bethlehem Olive Wood Nativity Collection. This masterpiece of almost immeasurable value is entirely hand-carved by master artisans who are disciples of 4th century master carvers. As an additional benefit you may provide your name (or the name of a loved one) for the clergy at the church of the Nativity in Bethlehem to lift up a prayer. This priceless Christian figurine collection begins with Issue One Mary and Jesus with FREE Holy Water from the Jordan River. Soon your collection will continue with Issue Two Joseph and the Cow and additional hand-carved Nativity figurines each a separate issue to follow.???This Bethlehem olive wood nativity collection was created from olive trees descended directly from those that grew during Christ's own lifetime. As it is actually illegal to cut down trees in Bethlehem the wood required to craft each intricately carved Nativity figurine was carefully pruned by hand to avoid damage to these rare relics still standing. This exquisite collection is absolutely resplendent with authentic details like the star symbol on the bottom of the manger which marks the exact spot where Jesus Christ was born (as it is inlaid directly into the floor of the Church of the Nativity.) A work of art and inspiration this olive wood Nativity will usher you straight into the reverence of the Holy Land. But don't wait. We have only secured a small allotment of these hand-carved treasures and the art and craft utilized to make them may soon be gone forever. Order now![]

My favorite nativity set
My mother bought this set more than thirty years ago and I grew up playing with it. Every year my sister and brothers and I would take out the nativity (ours had a stable with it) and re-enact the whole Christmas story. We never tired of playing with these beautiful pieces. The abrtract simplicity of the figures gave more scope for our imaginations than any fancy carved or painted set ever could. Ever since I married and moved away from my parents' house I've missed this nativity! So when my sister bought one for me this fall I was ecstatic. The pieces are nearly identical to the ones I grew up with (though of course these animals still have all four legs - my mother's no longer do after years of making the donkey carry Mary into the stable!).
I can't wait until I can share this nativity set with my own children. And until then this nativity will still have pride of place in my house at Christmas.
