Cute Little Jesus Figures Carry a Big Message
I started seeing these cute little Jesus figures a couple of years ago. People apparently leave them in retail stores like those little cruise ships ducks that show up in odd places on cruise ships. The small figures of Jesus just randomly show up in stores and sometimes restaurants. I saw one behind the register of a Dollar Tree last week. I asked the clerk if someone gave it to him, and he said, “No. It just showed up.”
That was my experience at Michael’s twice. There was just one sitting on the counter. I asked the clerk about it and she told me people just leave them for others to find.
So far I have found two, and they are slightly different. One has a deep purple sash and one has a lighter purple with “Jesus ❤️ You” in it. In addition, the flesh tones are slightly different. Apparently they come with other variations.
Oriental Trading Company has them in a variety of colors as does Walmart.
I was hoping I could display them with the new mini “You Can Be Anything” Barbie figures, but alas! They are smaller at less than an inch and a half tall, while Barbie YCBA is almost 2” tall.
