Shining Light - HUM 358 HSC 69139093

A Moment of Reverence and Protective Light The flame of a candle lights a winter’s night and makes the Christmas season bright. The Shining Light (HUM 358) figurine captures a moment of deep, concentrated devotion. This kneeling heavenly messenger holds a hand protectively in front of a flickering candle, shielding the flame from the winter chill. The angel’s reverent expression invites us to pause and reflect on the true meaning of the season.

First made available to the American market in 1972, this figurine has spent decades as a cherished part of holiday traditions. Hand-painted in Rödental, Germany, with the soft, earthy palette characteristic of M.I. Hummel, it serves as a beautiful reminder of the peace that light brings to the darkness.

Imagine finding this endearing angel in your holiday stocking or under the tree! To create a truly "shining" display, consider these companion pieces:

• Guiding Angel (HUM 357) – The first of the trio, providing celestial direction.

• Tuneful Angel (HUM 359) – The musical companion who heralds the season with a horn.

• Heavenly Angel (HUM 21) – The classic standing angel who also carries the light of a lantern.

• Heavenly Prayer (HUM 192) – Another beautiful study in light featuring a young boy with a candle.
