Nativity set-up

Our Fontanini Nativity has just been set-up in our St Francis new church. The characters will be added as the weeks go by, starting with the donkey and cow and a few sheep on the first Sunday of Advent, adding shepherds on the 2nd Sunday, more shepherds and folks people on the 3rd, with Mary and Joseph arriving on the scene on the 4th Sunday, before baby Jesus arrives on Christmas Eve.  Rick and Lupita Wesseler prepared the stable and assisted with their daughters, they set everything up, complete with palm trees, a well, a starry night backdrop, etc. The first photo shows more or less what the scene will look like when all the characters are displayed. But the other photos show the Wesselers working together to set up the Nativity.
