Each nativity set is handcarved and some sets will vary. Every one is completely unique.

Who Made It: George El Atrash started his family workshop in Bethlehem in 1967. In 1976 he moved the workshop to Beit Sahour and began to involve his brothers in the business. Today two of his sons work with him. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from El-Atrash Workshop since 1978.
