There are over 100 different ornaments -- all limited editions of 10,000. Each piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and a portion of the proceeds is donated to Vatican for use in their various charities. The first ornament of each edition goes to the Papal Museum and the second ornament produced is given to the Vatican.

There are many different categories in this collection. The main category is, of course, the Pope. The pieces show him in different robes and poses. Some of my favorites in this part of the collection are the ones showing the Pope with children. In one pose the Pope is holding a little baby, it's a wonderful unique piece.

This collection really struck me with the realistic faces and with the rich, vibrant colors. The look of the fabric draping on the robes and the lifelike poses are another testament to the artistry of the craftsmen. The pieces are not glitzy or glittery, just brilliant, deep colors and a look of fine sculpture.

St. Ann

Other categories include Saints; a group of angels unlike any other angel ornaments you might have seen; and two Mother Theresa pieces. The Jubilee Millennium is well represented in ornaments including a spectacular gold piece called "The Dove from the Window in St. Peter's Basilica". These very special pieces are more than just ornaments for your tree, they are glass sculptures that can be displayed with pride all year long. Just a look at them will tell you how much love and effort have gone into producing a quality product that also is a testament to the Kaminskis' and their beliefs.
