A Wellington-based nativity family is hopeful of finding a new home in time for the fast-approaching Christmas season.

The beautifully simple holy family has been part of Ngaio Union Church’s Christmas celebrations since they were created for the congregation by local artist Eve Black. Recent renovations, including the demolition of the hall, has necessitated letting them go.

Ngaio Union Minister, Sue Brown is hoping another parish will seize the chance to adopt the light-weight, low-maintenance trio. “They’re made of wire netting so we’ve nestled them in straw, surrounded them with candles, prayed and reflected with them over the years. This year, sadly, there is no longer room at the inn for them anymore.”

Free to any parish willing to pay for their travel costs, the family are ready for immediate relocation.

“All we ask is that you love them as we have done, and take them to your place at your cost,” says Sue.
