San Marco Advent Calendar

#UC8532 $29.95

  The Basilica San Marco, in all its gilded Byzantine glory, is the centerpiece of Venice's most famous square. Now you can display its magnificent façade in your home, via this beautifully printed Advent calendar from Germany. It's an absolutely flat cardboard cutout--about 15"x19"--created from a stunning photograph that creates the illusion of depth you see here. You can attach it via magnets to your refrigerator door, post it on a bulletin board, or lean it against the wall above the mantel. Each of the numbered doors and windows opens to display a religious image--an iconic painting, stained glass, or sculpture. What a wonderful way for children and adults to count down the December days until Christmas. (Sorry, no giftwrapping.)
