The Christmas Story is a majestic depiction of the humanity of Mary and Joseph, and their love for Jesus, their newborn child. The large scale and richly textured painting of these pieces increases their emotional impact.
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.
Designed to display with the "The Christmas Story" series.Gentle Animals of the Stable is Susan Lordie's newest sculpture in The Christmas Story Collection. The texture, coloring and expression of these animals add richness and surround to the quiet tenderness portrayed in this composition. The Donkey and two sheep fit on the base of the Sanctuary, nestling close to provide warmth, while keeping a protective watch over Mary, Joseph and their Child, Jesus.
