While in Israel, I purchased a new hand- carved original signed Nativity Set created by a Palestinian Christian. They are persecuted and their primary means of financial support is by selling these works of art. 

If you would like to make a contribution to helpthe persecuted Palestinian  Christian Catholics and cover the cost of this set ($12,000} in memory of a loved one who is not with you this Christmas, place a contribution in an envelope with your name and the name of the one remembered. Their name will be added to the plague in the north entrance.
