The Francis Nativity

The Francis Nativity was created in honor of Pope Francis and St. Francis of Assisi, who presented the first nativity in the rolling hills of Umbria in 1223.

The Francis Nativity is a grotto design, nestled on a solid cherry base, and includes meticulously carved figures and animals of mountain maple, hand painted, from the Comet Collection from Ulrich Perathoner in the Italian Alps. Intimate lighting is from four individually controlled LED lights. Click photos to enlarge.
