There have now been over 1,000 of the porcelain bisque figurines. Many of the first actual figurines were sculpted in Japan by the amazing Yasuhei Fujioka. The original drawings are still sent to Precious Moments Design Studio in Japan. Each year several pieces retire and new ones enter the range. There is a growing secondary market and a busy collectors club and an incredible visitors center.  Sam
Butcher started as a minister and since his career has had a strong religious
and spiritual influence. He created and designed the Chapel as a tribute
to the Lord. It now forms the foundation of a 1,500 acre complex including
a gallery museum, the Fountain of Angels (120 bronzed angels, three stories
tall), shops hotels and convention arenas. A very popular destination
for Precious Moments collectors. The Chapel also has exclusive
Precious Moments figurines.  The Precious Moments Collectors Club provides news and information
about Sam Butcher and news, information and pictures of the Precious Moments
