Nativity sets do not have to
cost a lot of money to have great value. For many of the folks
at St. John United Church of Christ, the Nativity sets they placed
on display earlier this month are items they cherish because
they have a special meaning in their own family.
For example, many of the notes
accompanying the sets talked about the set belonging to a parent or
other relative and how it has now been passed on to the current
owner.
