Giuseppe Restivo shows off the elaborate nativity scene he created in his home. It took the Central Lonsdale resident three years to complete the project. Intricate details include the star lights, set in the pattern of the original night in Bethlehem, and the work features a running train and water flowing through a river. The pieces Restivo made with bark were particularly challenging, specifically the curved train tunnel as well as siding on specific areas, like the manger.
