The Radiant Beginning of the Advent Season: Embrace the peaceful glow of the holiday season with Light the First Candle (HUM 2390). As the debut release in the cherished Advent Series (2018 Christmas Novelty), this figurine captures the quiet magic of the first Sunday of Advent. Master sculptor Marion Huschka has crafted a heartwarming scene of sibling devotion: an older sister lovingly strokes her baby brother’s head as he rests in his cradle, reaching out for the stories and songs she shares. Beside them, an orange cat curls up contentedly, basking in the warmth of the very first flickering candle.

The Heart of Family Traditions: Hand-painted in Rödental, Germany, this figurine radiates the warmth and anticipation of the countdown to Christmas. It serves as a beautiful standalone tribute to new life and family bonds, or as the foundational piece for your holiday mantle display.
