Nativities

Scenes of the nativity all trace their roots to St. Francis of Assisi, who in 1223 organized the first known representation of the Holy Night. Live animals filled a humble stable and members of the surrounding communities, regardless of status or wealth, played the parts of the Holy Family, Shepherds, and Wise Men. The meaning behind the re-enactment was clear: The Child was God's gift to all.
