Hawaiian Nativity Scene

One of a Kind Magical Hawaiian Nativity Scene

Ho'ano Ohana - The Holy Family
Malia, Iesu, Iokepa, Pueo, Honu and Pua'a

The Ho’ano Ohana enhances the Christmas spirit with their enchanting grace. They also can be placed as a centerpiece and embrace your home with the Aloha spirit of Hawaii all year long.

Standing in a precious coconut crèche Malia (Virgin Mary) lovingly watches over her baby Iesu (Jesus), who is contently nestled in his nut cradle.

Iokepa (Joseph) blows his Pu (conch shell) in the 4 sacred directions to announce the birth of Iesu, the greatest of all blessings.

Iesu, Malia, Iokepa and the coconut crèche are wearing blue and red halos of the Hawaiian Hulu (feather), which is believed to link to the divine.

2 Tiki torches spread their light and warmth throughout the coconut crèche.

Pua'a, the pig, Honu, the turtle and Pueo, the owl have gathered to adore the sweet baby.

In the Aloha spirit of Hawaii, the dolls, animals, coconut cradle and accessories were intricately handcrafted with the greatest love and respect for this sacred event.

Malia and Iokepa are about 3” tall fitting in the palm of your hand. The bodies are made out of stretch cotton and wired for flexibility. Iesu is about 3/4" tall. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto their faces. Malia, Iokepa and Iesu have tiny little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and belly buttons.

Pueo, Honu and Pua'a are partially crocheted and sewn out of faux fur.

The coconut for the crèche was selected from palm trees at Punalu’u Black Sands Beach. It is hand carved, sanded, polished and fit to a custom pine wood base. The top is adorned with a shining silver sea star.

All dolls, animals and accessories are pinned and or glued to the coconut crèche.

All accessories were individually handcrafted.

Doll care: Gently brush the dolls, their clothing and accessories with a soft dry toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair.

Malia, Iesu, Iokepa, Pueo, Honu and Pua'a are one of a kind collectible display dolls handcrafted by Hawaiian Dolls.
