One of a Kind Hawaiian Nativity Scene
|
|
Standing in a precious ocean theme coconut crèche, Malia (Virgin Mary) lovingly watches over her baby Iesu (Jesus), who is contently nestled in his nut cradle. Iokepa (Joseph) blows his Pu (conch shell) in the 4 sacred directions to announce the birth of Iesu, the greatest of all blessings. Iesu, Malia, Iokepa and the coconut crèche are wearing a halo of the Hawaiian Hulu (feather) lei, which is believed to link to the divine. |
|
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 crocheted with embroidery thread. Pua'a was sewn out of faux fur.
All dolls and animals are pinned and or glued to the coconut crèche. |
