A British artist with autism has sculpted a microscopic rendering of the Three Kings inside the eye of a needle, to celebrate hope, light, and love this holiday season.

Willard Wigan MBE, an artist from the West Midlands in England, struggled through school but never knew he had autism until he was diagnosed at the age of 50. As a child, he turned his frustration with the school system and his fascination for patterns in nature into a passion for art; as an adult, he’s a world-renowned microscopic sculpture artist who inspires millions with his meticulous handiwork.
