This artistically crafted alabaster statue depicts the Holy Family: Jesus, his ever-virgin mother, Mary, and his beloved foster father, Saint Joseph, among an ox and donkey.  Mary is clutching the Christ Childs hand with maternal tenderness, while Joseph with a lantern in hand is vigilantly keeping watch over his family.    The statue stands a height of 12 inches and is hand-painted in soft, subtle colors.  Made in Italy by Ennio Furiesi.
