These alabaster bookends feature the Holy Family at the Nativity. Able to keep heavy books in line, they both organize and decorate your home. This pair of bookends makes the perfect personal gift for for all families and anyone with devotion to the Holy Family.

The original artwork is the oil painting Nativity by contemporary artist Jason Jenicke.

The bookends are made from stone-cast alabaster here in our shop in Steubenville, Ohio. Alabaster is a building and decorating material created from the mineral gypsum that has been used since the time of the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs. It boasts an attractive smooth finish.

Each measures roughly 6"x8", including the 4"x6" inset image plaque, and is 3" deep.

Text reads:
"Father God, when your precious Son became a tiny baby in a stable in Bethlehem in poverty and simplicity, you changed our world. As we imagine those surroundings, we join with the shepherds and the wise men in wonder and praise. we thank you for our material lives, praise you for our spiritual lives, and trust in you for our eternal life. Amen."
