A Christmas nativity is probably one of the most recognizable symbols of the Christmas season.
The word nativity is taken from the Latin nativus, which means "arisen by birth." Nativities are art, models, carvings, or live demonstrations depicting the night of Jesus' birth.
These scenes generally contain the same elements: the Christ child in a manger; His mother, Mary; His earthly father, Joseph; shepherds; angels; various barn animals; and sometimes three wise men. Saint Francis of Assisi created the very first nativity scene in 1223 in an effort to promote the true meaning of Christmas.
Color variations from dark silver tones to brown rustic tones.
