This is one of our most beautiful advent calendars. Details from different stages of the Christmas story seem to reveal themselves the longer you look at it. A Roman centurion stands guard by a gate, roses bloom as the angel brings Mary the good news, a shepherdess brings an offering of bread as precious as the gifts from the Three Kings . . . . Glitter makes this calendar sparkle. Inspirational Bible references are printed under the windows. Each calendar can be folded to make it free-standing and measures 23.5" by 8.5" (excluding the packaging). Made in Germany. (Please note that this advent calendar does not contain candy, chocolate, or toys.)
