The expressive gestures of Mary and Joseph reveal their humanity, and portray their overwhelming emotion of love and protection for their newborn child.
The two-piece set of Mary holding baby Jesus, and Joseph are the centerpiece of The Christmas Story. The figures are 15” tall, and painted with richly layered colors. The elegant movement of Mary’s and Joseph’s garments, and their beautifully protective gestures bring this composition to the highest levels of sculptural art to adorn homes or churches.

I received this piece as well as the Sanctuary & Gentle Animals as a gift for Christmas a few years ago. They are definitely my favorite pieces out of all the ones that I have. What a wonderful statement they make as people come to visit for the holidays. Thank you for such wonderful works of art.
I bought The Christmas Story a few weeks ago and I have it in my living room. Every time I walk past it, it takes my breath away, it is so beautiful. I also have the Willow Tree Nativity which is beautiful as well. Since rediscovering my faith these pieces remind me that God is always with me. Thank you Susan Lordi for all of your beautiful figurines and angels. I now have 60+ and still collecting!
