What is a Nativity Scene?

A nativity scene shows the nativity or birth of Jesus  Typically, the scene includes the Holy Family (Baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph), angels, the Magi (the Three Wise Men or Three Kings - Balthasar of Arabia, Melchior of Persia, and Gaspar of India), the ox and the ass, and shepherds.

People think that St. Francis of Assisi  created the first nativity scene in 1223 near Greccio, Italy.  It was very popular and people in different places copied it.
