Make the Full of Grace Nativity the centerpiece of your family's holiday traditions, handcrafted from fast-growing sinamay and abaca. This elegant nativity featuring six handcarved figures calls to mind that first Christmas night in natural tones accented by blues, orange, and regal purple. Sinamay is woven from abaca fiber that comes from a non-edible banana tree native to the Phillippines. It is three times stronger than cotton or silk, making it a very durable fiber.
