Standing in a precious coconut crèche under the shade of two palm trees, Malia (Virgin Mary) lovingly watches over her baby Iesu (Jesus), who is contently nestled in his nut cradle.

Iokepa’s (Joseph’s) sacred Tiki torch spreads it’s light and warmth throughout the coconut crèche. It inspires feelings of deep inner peace and happiness and announces the birth of Iesu, the greatest of all blessings.

Iesu, Malia, Iokepa and the coconut crèche are wearing green and yellow halos of the Hawaiian Hulu (feather) lei, which is believed to link to the divine. The sacred Pu (conch shell) radiates Pono (harmony) throughout the coconut crèche.

Pua'a, the pig, Honu, the turtle and Pueo, the owl have gathered to adore the sweet baby.

In the Aloha spirit of Hawaii, the dolls, animals, coconut crèche and accessories were intricately handcrafted with the greatest love and respect for this sacred event.

Malia and Iokepa are about 3” tall fitting in the palm of your hand. The bodies are made out of stretch cotton and wired for flexibility. Iesu is about 3/4" tall. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto their faces. Malia, Iokepa and Iesu have tiny little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and belly buttons.

Pueo's and Honu's bodies have been sewn out of faux fur and partially crocheted with embroidery thread. Pua'a was sewn out of faux fur.

The coconut for the crèche was selected from palm trees at Punalu’u Black Sands Beach. It is hand carved, sanded, polished and fit to a custom pine wood base. The top is adorned with a shining silver sea star.

All dolls, animals and accessories are pinned and or glued to the coconut crèche.

All accessories were individually handcrafted.

Doll care: Gently brush the dolls, their clothing and accessories with a soft dry toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair.

Do not brush the hair!

Malia, Iesu, Iokepa, Pueo, Honu and Pua'a are one of a kind collectible display dolls handcrafted by Hawaiian Dolls. They come with their story and a certificate of authenticity.
