The nativities come from around the globe, and many are unique to different areas of the world. Places represented include Bangladesh, Congo, Ecuador, Ghana, Isreal, Mexico, Peru and handcrafted sets from the United States and locally from Thomas County. Unusual materials used to make them include brass, clay, nuts, pressed straw, olive wood and gourds.
"Some we collected in traveling, and some came from Fair Trade organizations that promote better prices for those who actually create the nativities," they said. "And a garage sale or two . . ."
