Santa and the Christ
Child

Santa & the Christ
Child There is no greater joy than watching a baby's face at his or her
first Christmas. The excitement and happiness parents feel are contagious
and surely their child is not immune to the love surrounding this holy
holiday. It is only fitting then, that the gentle gift bringer, Santa,
comes to visit the greatest Bringer of hope, love and peace: the little
Baby Jesus.
As the baby's face lights
upon seeing Santa's gift, a cuddly teddy bear complete with big red bow,
his hand reaches up to accept the precious gift. Santa's eyes glisten as
he sees the sweetness and beauty of the Baby Jesus, who, though nestled in
His humble bed of straw, bears all the dignity and power of a King.

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. A

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 times…love. 3" tall. (Item #38978) $12.00

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.

a great addition to your own Pipka Santas collection. 2.75" tall.

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 mother’s 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

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel
Our Lady of
Mount Carmel is the guiding light on the road of contemplation. She
lovingly holds her precious Child in one arm while offering her scapular,
badge of courage, to all of humanity. Those who wear the scapular will
receive her maternal protections. Fortify the bearers' weakness with
strength, illuminate the darkness of the mind with wisdom and increase
one's Faith, Hope and Charity. Our Lady of Mount Carmel lived in
attentiveness to all that God did in her life. She allowed herself to be
formed by God's Word and presence in her life, and responded generously to
all God asked of her. As St. Luke tells us: "Mary kept all these
things, reflecting on them in her heart." (Lk 2:19).

Our Lady of Fatima
Limited to 2005
production.
The Virgin Mary appeared in the town of Fatima,
Portugal between May 13th and October 13th,1917, to three young children.
She told them she was sent by God and had a message for all people. While
the world was still reeling from the aftermath of World War I, Our Lady of
Fatima told the children that Heaven would grant peace if nations prayed
and obeyed. She specifically told them to tell everyone to say the Rosary.
The children asked Mary to give them a sign so everyone would believe they
had seen her.
Later, when people from all over the world came
to the site, sun became a bright ball of fire and the Image of the Virgin
Mary was seen in it. The event became known as the Miracle of the Sun
occurred.
