## Description

The Holy Family collection is ideal for those looking for a smaller nativity option. The 7.5”h figures are complemented by a backdrop of pierced curved metal, suggestive of twinkling stars. Four animals give watch, warmth and protection. (The Holy Family figure and Sheltering Animals sold separately)

Review: Large and Small Willow Tree Nativity sets - Some reviewers have given this bad reviews based on the fact that it is too small for the large willow tree nativity set. I think there is some confusion. The item listed "shelter for the holy family" says in the description that it was made to go with "the holy family" sculpture. This is a 7.5 inch one piece sculpture with just Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus produced because of requests for a smaller, more reasonably priced willow tree nativity set. There is also a set of animals that are made to go with this smaller set, the "sheltering animals for the holy family." I think the confusion is that there are two different nativity sets mixed on the same ordering page on desertcart. The basic larger set is named "6 piece nativity" and is to a 9.5 inch scale. It fits well with the "creche" and all the other sets listed from this order page like the "three wise men" and the "ox and goat." If you collect the other willow tree figures the large nativity set is quite a bit bigger than the regular pieces. My daughter set up some of her other figures around the large nativity set and it makes Mary and Joseph look like giants. The normal figurines are more like a 5.5 inch scale. Don't get me wrong, the large nativity is very beautiful and well worth the price. It will be a cherished heirloom for years to come. But just be aware of the different scales. If you read the descriptions it should help you know what to expect. Hope this helps clarify for those looking to purchase a set.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: are they carved from wood**
A: I found this on the Willow Tree website:A: The original of each Willow Tree® figure is sculpted and carved by Susan Lordi using a special sculpting clay. Susan's originals are then sent to a factory in China to be cast in resin that exactly captures each of her knife marks. The resin is cured, and each piece is individually hand-painted (and the paint is lead-free).I LOVE mine and have bought several for gifts.

**Q: Do these figurines go with the Holy family figurines that are about 14" tall or the ones that are 9" tall?**
A: The Holy Family set is 7.5” tall. The Christmas Story set is the 14” tall set. The Nativity is the 9” set (and the holy family is set up differently and doesn’t have the coloring that these other two sets have).

**Q: How does the shelter stand up?  Is it curved or does it have a support piece?**
A: It is curved and stands on it's own. It is all one piece of pressed metal.

**Q: Are they goued together?**
A: Hello,
These figures are not glued together. They are separate figures that are sold together, 
Thank you

This is a very sturdy nice looking piece to add to Willowtree nativity! Looks very nice to my display!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great background

It draws your eyes to the figurines. They are very light colored and need a darker background to show them off.
