Product Description
The Virgin Mary of the Nativity Creche d’Autun Series points to the central mystery of the Nativity – the “reason for the season.” This piece – designed and fashioned with faith by cloistered sisters in a European monastery – is part of a lovely 11-piece nativity scene or crèche. The Virgin Mary, along with the Infant Jesus and St. Joseph will make a great beginning to the crèche which you intend either for your own family, or for a loved one, another family or your church as a Christmas gift. When you acquire two or three pieces each year, your crèche soon will be complete and on display in your home, workplace, office, school or church!
From Western Europe with Love (and Hope and Faith) – The Dolomite Autun Crèche
The Virgin Mary is 3.5 inches long. All 11 pieces are fashioned from dolomite stone and hand-finished by religious sisters in the workshop or their monastery in Western Europe. Each sister is given a specific task which she prayerfully performs as her contribution to each completed crèche piece. Each and every piece of every crèche is indeed a labor of faith, hope, and love!
A Crèche of Heirloom Quality for Christmas
The complete Crèche d’Autun imparts beauty and serenity wherever families, friends, and persons of faith gather in the Christmas season. In Europe public displays of a large or small crèche are commonplace in offices, banks, restaurants, hospitals, and care facilities. May your own home, workplace, office, school, and church be blessed by the presence of a nativity scene that bespeaks with theological and aesthetic integrity the real “reason for the season”! This heirloom-quality Crèche d’Autun is a treasure for the ages and for Christmas to come!

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.
– Pope Benedict XVI, Excerpt from Angelus message (Advent 2005)
