Unfold it and you have Mary kneeling beside the manger, Joseph standing in prayer, a young shepherd holding his lamb, and an angel in golden robes watching over them all — all set against a hand-painted Bethlehem skyline under a star-scattered sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pointed Gothic arches give it the feel of a cathedral altarpiece shrunk to mantel size. The three panels are hinged, so you can adjust the angle to fit your shelf or table. Fold it flat when the season ends and it stores in a drawer or box with no risk of losing a single figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the base, two metal-lined wells wait for tealights. Light them on Christmas Eve and the glow rises behind the figures, turning painted resin into something that feels alive. (Tealights are not included — any standard size fits.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach panel is painted by hand. Look closely and you'll find the texture of straw in the manger, the soft folds of the shepherd's tunic, and the individual feathers on the angel's wings. The gold stars on the blue background are placed one at a time, not stamped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt just over 7 inches tall and roughly 10 inches wide when displayed, it's sized for apartments, dorm rooms, and smaller mantels where a full multi-piece nativity set would be too much — but the story still deserves to be told in full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe complete scene, ready to unfold.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- Collapsible: FAQ --\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; border: 1px solid #e5e5e5; border-radius: 8px; padding: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"padding: 16px 20px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; cursor: pointer; list-style: none; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003cspan style=\"margin-left: 8px;\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 20px 20px; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 15px; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eDoes this include candles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\"\u003eNo, candles are not included. The base has two built-in metal tealight holders that fit any standard tealight candle (approx. 1.5″ diameter). We recommend LED tealights if you plan to leave them lit unattended, especially around children or pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 15px; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eIs this a Holy Family figurine or a nativity set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\"\u003eIt's both, in a way. Unlike our standalone Holy Family figurines, this piece includes additional figures — a shepherd and an angel — making it a complete nativity scene. But unlike a traditional nativity set with loose pieces, everything is sculpted into one folding display. It's ideal if you want the full story without the setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 15px; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eCan this be hung on a wall, or is it tabletop only?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\"\u003eThis is designed for tabletop or shelf display. The panels fold to stand on their own weighted base and are not equipped with wall-mounting hardware. The low profile makes it perfect for narrow mantels, window sills, and side tables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 15px; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eHow wide is it when fully opened?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\"\u003eWhen the three panels are fully opened for display, the width is approximately 10 inches (25 cm). You can adjust the angle narrower if your shelf space is limited — the hinged panels let you find the right fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 15px; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eIs it safe to use real candles in the holders?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\"\u003eThe holders are metal-lined and can accommodate real tealights. However, as with any candle, never leave them burning unattended, and keep the flame away from the resin panels. For worry-free use — especially in homes with children or pets — LED tealights are an excellent alternative and create the same warm glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 15px; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eCan I display this year-round, or is it only for Christmas?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0;\"\u003eMany customers do keep it out all year, especially in a prayer corner or on a devotional shelf. The cathedral arch framing and candle holder function give it a timeless quality that doesn't feel strictly seasonal. That said, it folds flat for easy storage if you prefer to pack it away after Epiphany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 15px; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eIs this a good gift for a baptism or first Communion?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eYes. Because it tells the full nativity story in one piece, it's a popular gift for baptisms, first Communions, and confirmations. The built-in candle holders also make it a meaningful centerpiece for an Advent prayer table. It arrives securely packed, and our 30-day return policy makes gifting risk-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Zayton Home Décor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47737890439317,"sku":"ZT-0106","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/6063\/2469\/files\/262.webp?v=1787038192","url":"https:\/\/www.zaytonzayton.com\/products\/cathedral-arch-nativity-candle-holder","provider":"Zayton Home Décor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
