Jesus in the Manger Christmas Ornament

Sands of Bethlehem Christmas Ornaments were created as reminders of the true meaning of Christmas. These exquisite ornaments are sprinkled with authentic sand from the Holy Land, so they not only tell a story with each image, but when you touch and see them, you’ll be connecting with the very birthplace of Christ. Imagine holding these ornaments in your hands, knowing they’ve been graced with the sands that Jesus walked upon.
These extraordinary ornaments are works of art created by using a sand-cast mold that is formed from molten metal. Using a Renaissance-era technique, the glassblower creates what is called a ‘mother mold.’ Liquid sterling is injected by hand into the ornament, creating a luminescence that seems to glow from within. Each ornament has a base coat of matte lacquer which is applied by hand. The other colors are applied on top of the base coat, resulting in the transformation of the ornament into a visual delight. Each of the Sands of Bethlehem ornaments has distinctive touches that are a result of the painted details meticulously applied by hand. A sprinkling of sand from the Holy Land is tenderly applied to each work of art. They are then carefully placed in their own keepsake boxes and made ready for shipment.

Jesus in the Manger
As an infant in the manger, Jesus seems to reach out and draw everyone into the wonder of Christmas. A King lying in a feed trough. Unthinkable, but true. The Christ Child appeals to all, because Jesus became one of us. This Jesus in the Manger ornament will serve as a reminder of His birth and how we are all to come to Him like children. With the sprinkling of authentic Sands of Bethlehem, this ornament helps to retell the Christmas story with a unique and treasured touch.
