Designed to display with the "The Christmas Story" series.Gentle Animals of the Stable is Susan Lordie's newest sculpture in The Christmas Story Collection. The texture, coloring and expression of these animals add richness and surround to the quiet tenderness portrayed in this composition. The Donkey and two sheep fit on the base of the Sanctuary, nestling close to provide warmth, while keeping a protective watch over Mary, Joseph and their Child, Jesus.

Willow Tree®
by Susan Lordi

Willow Tree® hand-carved sculptures speak in quiet ways to heal, comfort, protect and inspire. Susan Lordi identifies emotions so important for us to convey, and renders them in simple, pure gestures. About Willow Tree, Susan says, “I try to keep the interpretation of Willow Tree open. I hope this makes it more personal, and allows the viewer to decide its meaning.”
