MCKEES ROCKS, Pa. — Mancini’s Bakery in McKees Rocks celebrated Christmas Eve with an annual tradition and also showed some love for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Mary Mancini Hartner, the bakery’s owner says the bread is made by her son, making it a tradition that is close to her heart.

“I like to watch my son’s creativity. I like to see it from when it’s a piece of dough and then how it becomes the art that it is,” said Mancini Hartner.

This year the art gave a slight nod to Pittsburgh Steeler Mason Rudolph. His name is written on Rudolph’s rein.

500 pounds of dough were used on this project.
