The story of Mary, Joseph, and the Christ Child has had a great appeal throughout the world as a story of a family facing both hardship and hope.

Remarkable in its variety of medium and scale, this generous gift from James and Emilia Govan promises to be a memorable tradition for families of all faiths.
