Product Description
The Saint Joseph of the Nativity Creche d’Autun Series sits in awe of the central mystery of the Nativity – the true “reason for the season.” This piece – created and and fashioned with faith by cloistered sisters in their monastic workshop in Europe – is an integral piece in a beautiful 11-piece nativity scene or crèche. The Saint Joseph, along with the Infant Jesus and the Virgin Mary, will make a splendid start to the crèche either for your own family, or for a loved one, another family, or your church as a Christmas gift. By acquiring two or three pieces each year, your crèche will be complete soon and ready for display in your home, workplace, school, office, or church!
The Dolomite Autun Crèche – Fashioned with Faith, Hope and Love
The Saint Joseph stands 3.9 inches tall. All 11 pieces of the dolomite Autun crèche are made from dolomite stone and hand-finished by cloistered nuns in the workshop of their monastery in Europe. Each nun is assigned a specific task which she prayerfully performs towards completion of each crèche piece. Every piece of every crèche is a pure labor of faith, hope, and love!
The Autun Crèche is of Heirloom Quality
The complete Crèche d’Autun enhances the Christmas season with depth, beauty and serenity for families, friends, and persons of faith gathering together. In Europe public displays of a small or large crèche are quite common in offices, banks, restaurants, hospitals, and care facilities. May your own home, workplace, office, school, and church be blessed by the presence of a crèche which will bespeak, with theological and aesthetic integrity, the real “reason for the season”! This heirloom-quality Saint Jospeh of the Crèche d’Autun is a treasure for the ages and for many a Christmas to come!

Excerpt from the Advent 2005 Angelus message of Pope Benedict XVI
To set up the crib at home can be a simple but effective way of presenting the faith and transmitting it to one’s children. The manger helps us to contemplate the mystery of God’s love who revealed himself in the poverty and simplicity of the Bethlehem cave.
Saint Francis of Assisi was so overwhelmed by the mystery of the Incarnation, that he wanted to present it again in Greccio with the living manger, thus becoming the initiator of a long popular tradition which still keeps its value for evangelization today.
The crib can help us, in fact, to understand the secret of the true Christmas, because it speaks of humility and the merciful goodness of Christ, who “though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor”. (II Corinthians 8:9) His poverty enriches those who embrace it and Christmas brings joy and peace to those who, as the shepherds, accept in Bethlehem the words of the angel: “And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger”. (Luke 2:12)
It continues to be a sign also for us, men and women of the 21st century. There is no other Christmas.
