The Roman soldier Atticus was added to the Companions Collection Nativity by Hestia in 2013. Please note: Atticus is retiring in 2021 and will be available only while supplies last.

From the Companions Nativity Collector Card: Atticus had always dreamed of being a mighty Roman soldier, defending the Empire against all those who would seek to overthrow Caesar. But instead of being assigned to the front lines, he was ordered to go to Bethlehem, a tiny, useless town on the outskirts of the Empire, to oversee the collection of taxes from the poor Jewish slaves. Not exactly the assignment he had hoped for. But one night, his world would change forever. The sky was clear and when Atticus looked up, he saw the brightest star he had ever seen, seemingly pointing to Bethlehem. Then he heard the most beautiful music coming from nowhere and everywhere at the same time. What could it all mean?

The Christmas season is beautifully portrayed in this heirloom quality nativity set. Carefully chosen fabrics are applied to the bonded marble sculptures to add texture and an authentic first century appearance. Each year artist Linda MacDonald adds a new piece and retires an old one, and collectors are building value as they enjoy the beauty of this Christmas Nativity scene.
