A History Sam Butcher drew the first of the Precious Moments children for his family. Sam was a devout Christian, which shows in his work on these pieces. In the early part of the 1970s, Sam and Bill Biel started to produce his drawings in the form of cards and posters. This company was called Jonathan & David. Most of their goods were sold at the Christian Boooksellers Association Convention in California. There, the artwork was a huge hit, and Sam was soon approached by the Enesco Corporation. Much like Sister Hummel was approached by Goebel, Enesco wanted to develop figurines based in his artwork. In 1978, the first 21 Precious Moments were produced. The success of these figurines was immediate. People loved to collect these adorable teardropshaped children. Enesco held the license for these figurines until 2005, when they returned to Precious Moments, Incorporated.
