lege’s pottery expert, said: "There were thousands of p ie ce s o f p o t te r y in
containers. “We had to work with tweezers in some eases,
hut we managed to piece all the figures together and repaint them.” The restoration work is
usually very expensive, hut all services were given free of charge. The nativ ity scene will now go on display under the church altar.
