Holy Family Figurine with Standing Angel – Hand-Painted Resin, 12.25″

The Nativity moment, gathered into one powerful piece.

This hand-painted figurine captures the Holy Family at the heart of the Christmas story — with a difference. A tall guardian angel in a crimson robe stands behind them, gold wings spread wide, watching over the scene with quiet authority.

In the foreground, Mary kneels in prayer beside the manger. The infant Jesus lies on a bed of sculpted straw, wrapped in white with gold-trimmed edges. Joseph stands beside them, hand over heart, holding the wooden staff that speaks of the journey that brought them here.

The angel is what draws the eye first. At 12.25 inches, this is the tallest Holy Family piece in our collection, and the angel's height emphasizes her role as protector. Her wings are sculpted feather by feather and painted in layered gold that catches light from every angle — including the back, where the same detail continues.

The color palette is rich and traditional: crimson, deep plum, and emerald set against the warm gold of the wings and the dark, ornate base. This is a piece that holds its own on a large mantel or as the centerpiece of a holiday display.

Like all our figurines, it's cast in durable resin and painted by hand, one at a time. The one-piece design means no assembly, no loose parts, and no worry about small pieces going missing.

The Christmas story, standing watch.

Is the angel a separate piece or attached?

The angel is fully attached. The entire sculpture — angel, Holy Family, manger, and base — is cast and painted as one solid piece. There are no separate parts to assemble, lose, or store.

How is this different from your other angel Holy Family figurine?

This design features a standing angel in a crimson robe positioned behind the Holy Family, with baby Jesus in the manger and Mary kneeling. Our other angel design shows a praying angel in ivory and gold above the Holy Family, with a rose-carved base and a standing child Jesus. The color palette, composition, and mood are entirely different.

Is 12.25″ too large for a small apartment?

At just over 12 inches tall, this is a statement piece best suited for a mantel, large side table, or dedicated prayer corner. If your space is limited, our 8.5″ Holy Family figurines may be a better fit. But if you have the room, the height and presence of this piece are hard to match.

Is baby Jesus in the manger a separate figure?

No — the baby Jesus, the manger, and the straw bedding are all sculpted as part of the single statue. He does not remove or detach, which makes this piece both durable and safe for households with young children.

Does the back of the statue have detail?

Yes. The angel's wings are fully sculpted and painted on both sides, and the drapery of the robes continues with the same care around the back. While most people display this facing forward, it looks complete from every angle.

Is this a nativity set or a Holy Family figurine?

It sits between the two. It includes the Holy Family plus a guardian angel, so it tells more of the story than a simple three-figure Holy Family piece. But because it's one solid statue, it's simpler to display and store than a multi-piece nativity set. If you want the Nativity scene without the complexity of arranging individual figures, this is the ideal choice.

Is this appropriate as a wedding or anniversary gift?

Yes. The image of a family sheltered by a guardian angel resonates deeply for marriages and anniversaries. Its size and presence also make it feel like a substantial, lasting gift. Each figurine arrives securely packed, and our 30-day return policy makes gifting risk-free.
