	Pipka Our Lady of Loreto Our Lady of Loreto gets her name from the 12th century when the Holy Family home was transported from Nazareth to Yugoslavia to Loreto, Italy, overnight. Shepherds witnessed that the angels were carrying it with our Lady riding on top holding Baby Jesus. The 'Holy House' is a famous shrine that is found in the small town of Loreto, located near the sea in the pleasant hills of Italy. Legend has it that Christians honor this building as the holy place where Mary was born and lived as a child. The walls listened as the angel greeted Mary and spoke to her, "Blessed among all women." Later, this blessed house was where Joseph, Jesus and Mary lived for 30 years. Mary of Loreto holds the Christ Child near her heart. She wraps him in her love.

	Pipka Madonna, Queen of Roses I wanted to design my Mary, Queen of Roses, to depict sweetness, humility and strength. She wears an abundant crown of roses, as the rose symbolizes love. She is dressed in rich hues of blue to symbolize her strength. She rests her cheek against the baby's head in a gesture of human motherly love. Mary stands on soft verdant earth as a reminder that she is as close as a whisper or a prayer. Although the world is in a state of great change and upheaval, my wish is that when your gaze falls on Mary, Queen of Roses, you remember the goodness of the human Spirit and the power of the greatest human attribute we have at our disposal at all timeslove. 3" tall. (Item #38978) $12.00

	Pipka Mary, Mother of All Children History and tradition tell us that Mary was a very young girl when she became the Mother of Jesus. Her strength, humility and sweetness shine through Bible stories. Many sightings of Mary have been documented and recorded. She usually appears before children, whose innocence is untainted by the world around them. Her message is always one of love. Mary, Mother of All Children holds her beautiful cloak open, sheltering the children of the world. She watches over them all. In her embrace, the children have nothing to fear. They are free to play and laugh with abandon, secure in her boundless love. Women all over the world, knowingly and unknowingly, emulate this holy figure. A teacher spends countless unselfish hours tutoring a needy child an aging grandmother volunteers to babysit so a busy mother and father can have some time to themselves an aunt is pen pals with her niece who lives in another state; a step-mother opens her heart and home to her husband's children; a woman spends hours reading and talking to elders in a nursing home...these woman, too, are mothers of all children, following in the footsteps of Mary.

	Pipka Renaissance Madonna The Renaissance period, from the 14th to mid-17th centuries, was an era of rediscovery based on Greek and Roman literature. The word, renaissance, is often used to describe a "rebirth" or "reawakening." So it seems fitting to name our Madonna, the Renaissance Madonna. As we approach the 21st century, it is time to reawaken our spirits to the sacredness of women and motherhood. It is only when all repressed peoples, including women and children, are treated with equality, fairness and respect that we can hope to have a better world. The Renaissance Madonna typifies the love and respect we have for the Mother of the Christ Child. She wrapped her Baby in a mothers sacred love, protecting, nurturing and teaching him scripture and values, so that He could grow up to fulfill his role as Savior of the World. Like the great artists of their time, Shakespeare, Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo, The Renaissance Madonna awakens us to all possibilities and allows our spirits to soar. 3" tall. Gift Boxed. (Item #38980) $12.00

About Pipka

In 1994, Prizm Incorporated was formed by Michele Johnson and Gary Meidinger, in the town of Manhattan, Kansas. They were eager to open a gift company of their own, and had met with a number of artists who they hoped might fit with their vision. In 1993 they met an artist named Pipka, and they both fell in love with her unique Christmas designs, and also shared her vision to express the magic, joy, and holiness of Christmas in her work. One year later, in 1994, Prizm Incorporated was formed. The first year, they introduced Pipkas designs as limited edition figurines. A year later, in 1995, Prizm Incorporated launched an entire line: Pipka Santas. Since its initial launch in 1995, collectors throughout the country and the world have enthusiastically embraced their products.

Prizm Incorporated has since expanded their lines. More recently, in January of 2005, Prizm Incorporated introduced three new artists and collections; Peggy Abrams and her Making Seasons Bright collection, Tom Browning and his Santa Classics collection, as well James Browne and his Untold Stories collection. Every year their artists introduce new items to their collections, often selling out.

Over the years Prizm Incorporated has won several awards and nominations from the National Association of Limited Edition Dealers, NALED, and the Collectors Information Bureau, CIB. Their business continues to grow and has much more on the drawing board. They are always keeping the consumer and their unique tastes in mind, as they search for new artists throughout the country to work with.
