The adorable two piece set was yet another heartwarming gift form my wonderful sister. I want to be generous too! So I've sent her a sweet surprise or two from "The Holy Land Experience" here in Orlando Florida.

The Story

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior , which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill toward men. Luke 2: 8-14

Behold there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews for we have seen his star in the east and are come to worship him. . .
Lo, the star which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. . . they fell down and worshipped him: . . .they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
Matthew 2: 1-10
