Product Description
Bring the true look of the Middle East to your holiday decor with this large Holy Family nativity set. Made from fabric, each figure is carefully sewn, then dressed in traditional clothing, with hand cross stitched or crocheted details. Fun finishing touches are added at the end, such as Joseph's mala bracelet and leather pouch and Mary's stamped metal accessories. This set is made to sit somewhere with a back (the dolls are not stabilized to sit on their own). It looks delightful seated in a chair or on a mantel.
In 2011, the conflict in Syrian began, reaching a loss of life exceeding 400,000 in the first 3 years alone. There are currently over 13 million displaced Syrians due to the conflict, all of whom are struggling on multiple levels. Regardless of where they currently live, they have the artistry of their ancestors in their corner. The cross stitch of the Syrians is legendary. Our ladies stitch the patterns freehand, making every piece a unique work of art. This work gives the artisans a sense of control amidst the chaos and a much needed income that will help them past this period of instability.
