Search for shelter

This beautiful composition of wooden figures tells the desperate yet beautiful story of Mary and Joseph's search for shelter as soon as you look at it.

Mary and Joseph set off on a long journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem to register on a tax list. But when they arrived there, all the inns were already full. The streets were overcrowded and no one could give them shelter. In their distress, they finally found a stable where Mary gave birth to her child, Jesus. The simple and humble surroundings of the stable were to be the beginning of a special story that would change the world.
