Willow Tree The Christmas Story

by Demdaco

Her name is Mary
His name is Joseph
The baby Jesus

A dramatic new Willow Tree sculpture for 2007 is The Christmas Story which reveals the humanity of Mary and Joseph. The two-piece set of Mary holding baby Jesus and Joseph are the centrepiece of The Christmas Story. The figures are nearly 15" tall with richly layered colours. These figures mark a shift in scale and colouration for Willow Tree. The elegant movement of Mary’s and Joseph’s garments and their beautifully protective gestures bring this composition to the highest levels of sculptural art to adorn homes or churches.

"The Christmas Story is a story from the past… but the overwhelming emotions of holding a new baby starting a new family and wanting to protect them forevermore are present today in every culture and every age. My hope is that the gestures of Mary and Joseph will represent these powerful feelings of love and protection."
