A Sad Journey In Elegant Figures


The nativity story ended with a sad journey for the Family as they left Bethlehem for points south to Egypt. Goebel of Germany produced a series of figurines designed by Janet Robson which depicts that journey.


The modelling is elegant and serene. The characters are each dressed in blue and white garments.


Both Mary and her son wear white rimmed hoods:

Joseph carries a lantern in one hand and a small bundle at the end of a staff




The donkey trods patiently...

    Have you ever been to Highfield Hall in Falmouth, Ma at Christmastime> The entire place is filled with Nativity sets. I think you would enjoy it. The Goebels set is lovely.
