"When they heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star which they saw in the East, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy" (Matthew 2:9-10)
@karens68 Yes it was Karen. the collection of figures is not that old, but the wooden manger is something Dad made shortly before my Mother passed away. He has proudly displyed it every year since then. It is nothing spectacular, but my Dad made it, and that makes it special to me.
