This Christmas, Norma Moreira and her husband are sharing their home with 45 wise men.
Moreira, who immigrated to the United States from Ecuador in 1996, has been acquiring Nativity scenes for the past two decades. With her collection now standing at 58 (15 of which contain the three wise men), images of a cluttered storefront might come to mind. But when you consider that some figures are not much larger than a fingernail, it’s easy to understand how Moreira is able to comfortably share her Watertown home with all those creches.
from the Boston Globe, Christmas Day 2008
Merry Christmas, everyone! We couldn’t be prouder of our lovely and loving wife who today was profiled in a feature in the Boston Globe. This story began as a blog posting on Dowbrigade News two years ago. A few weeks ago, Norma suggested I submit it to the Globe. Her collection has grown in the past two years, and they jumped on it like dogs on a meat wagon.
Let the record show that the Dowbrigade considers himself the luckiest man in the world for having found the perfect wife for his problematic personality.
It’s a very nice blog. Nice to meet you. Salam from Indonesia.
