Willow Tree Figurine by Demdaco - The Christmas Story

Made of Resin
Height: 36.8 cm
Sculpted by Susan Lordi

The Christmas Story is the largest-scale nativity scene created by Susan Lordi, featuring Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus. This exquisite two-piece set is approximately 15 inches tall and is designed to be a centerpiece for the Sanctuary or a prominent display area.

Mary and Joseph are portrayed with expressive gestures that reveal their humanity and deep emotional connection. Mary holds baby Jesus tenderly, while Joseph stands protectively beside them. The richly layered colors and elegant movement of their garments enhance the sculptural beauty of the scene. Joseph's staff and cloak form a protective shield around his new family, while his left hand, positioned above Jesus' head, symbolizes a blessing and protection.

Susan Lordi's intent with The Christmas Story is to capture the profound emotions of love and protection that accompany the arrival of a new baby and the formation of a family. These universal feelings of care and safeguarding are represented in the timeless gestures of Mary and Joseph, making this piece a meaningful tribute to the nativity story.
