Away in a Manger! by homeschoolmom

Away in a Manger!

A view of the manger scene in a traditional German Christmas decoration. The true reason for the season.
Is that from an Erzgebirgsshop? We are not really traditional so I have no idea :(

@justaspark It's a close up of the middle section of a Weinhacts-Pyramide. It's got the candles around the bottom that make the blades at the top turn. The animals circle the manger when it's working.

Very nice shot of this. Does it have music with it? It looks like it could turn and have some sort of music box music.

@randystreat It does turn, but there is no music. It is three layers high. This is the middle layer. Candles go along the bottom. Heat from the candles makes the blades at the top move. The animals move around the manger scene. I'll have to take a picture of the whole thing and post it. It's really cool looking. It's over 2 feet high.
