“It was done with all of our hearts, in honor of Jesus,” says Nancy Cordoba.
Three years of planning has brought the pages of the Bible to life because living room serves as the canvas for their nativity scene.
It’s a massive tale on a small scale.
“It took me and my husband three months, Everything is handmade except for the figurines,” Cordoba said.
“Every single little house has something going on,” her daughter Elizabeth Zapata says. “You have to take your time and take a look at it.”
The display has only been up for 10 days, and it's already attracted more than 100 visitors. They're all blown away by the attention to detail.
“They say, 'Oh, we're going to go see a nativity,' they just expected something very little."
Elizabeth Zapata helped her parents put the scene together.
“Painting, building, carving, sleepless nights working ... very proud of them.”
For them, the hard work is worth it.
“Just to give thanks, and to show the world that nice things still happen, good hearts are still out there,” Zapata said.
The family says they will leave the display up for a few more months and welcome visitors.
