Introduced to the Companions Collection in 2003.

 From the Hestia Companions Nativity story card: In every group of shepherds there was a boy assigned to fetch drinking water for the men and animals. For a year Gideon has had that job, and he was proud of the fact that he was always ready with water whenever anyone called for it. Tonight he had just returned from his fifth trip to the well when he saw the excited group looking at the sky and pointing. They all seemed to be talking at once. Now he followed them to the stable. He does not know what is inside, but it is clearly something important. He is glad his flask is full in case water is needed. 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.
