a fabulous something

For the past three years I think, there's been an ornate display near the altar at church, so I took some photos. I'm not sure where it's from, if it was a donation, or that it's just on display there. Eileen thought she heard it was some sort of reliquary.

It seems to be made of paper.

Quite fancy.

Russian, I suppose?

I like the clock.

All sorts of detail.

And a carved wood nativity in the center.

But today they were putting it all away until next Christmas.
