This Guatemalan artisan calls his special, hand-carved, hand-painted nativities, “births,” and how perfectly fitting.  These are so lovely and will make a holiday statement in any room.  You won’t find these anywhere else as we work directly with our artisan carver and painter to customize the paints to create a softer pastel palette.  We could not love them more and know you will too.  Display them on a mantel, under your Christmas tree or as the center piece to your holiday table.

 Details:

• Each birth comes with 5 figures, 2 animals and baby Jesus
• They are hand-carved and hand-painted
• Approximate size dimensions: tallest figure is 9”
• As with anything handmade, each piece is unique and there will be slight variations in size, color and design

Nothing reminds us of the holidays quite like a nativity scene. And this one is especially dear as it is hand carved and painted by a group of talented wood carvers located in the charming and bustling town of Chichicastenango, Guatemala. Great care is taken to keep its rustic quality while the colors are so reminiscent of the land to which they came.  These come in a variety of brightly colored paints, and we know you will treasure each special, artisan made nativity.

Details:
*Hand carved and hand painted
*Set includes 5 figures, 2 animals and the Baby Jesus
*Approximate size dimensions: 5” tall

*We recommend placing your nativity on a base in lieu of placing it directly on your table or mantle

At Orphan Outreach Marketplace, we believe in restoring hope to the children, families and artisans we serve. So, we created our Re | store collection. The prefix ‘re’ is a Latin root meaning ‘again and again,’ indicating repetition. We are carefully curating this collection across multiple product lines, and it is our hope that it will remind each of us…again and again, to love, serve, and pray for those close to us as well as those a world away.

Let the aroma of evergreen and pine get you in the mood for December days. The fragrance of our Re | joice candle hits every joyous note and will fill your home with warmth as you create holiday memories. And remember, your candle purchase makes a double impact- it allows Orphan Outreach to support orphaned and vulnerable children and funds programs to end human trafficking in the United States.

Details:

• Scent is a premium fragrance based on essential oils
• Size- 12 oz. vessel/9.25 oz. wax weight/50+ hours burn time
• Material- Soy Wax
• Fragrance notes: evergreen, cypress, pine
• Hand poured

Candle know-how:

• Wick trimming: keep your wick ¼” long for optimum burn time.
• Allow for a melting pool to develop: Your initial light is the most important light!
• Burn your candle long enough to melt the wax completely to the edge of the vessel. This will ensure your candle will not burn in a tunnel.
• Enjoy with care: do not burn your candle unattended and be cautious handling the vessel as it will get hot while burning. Keep away from small children and animals.
