What is a Nativity Scene?

A nativity set or a crèche is a depiction of the birth of Jesus as described in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. Nativity sets at the minimum includes figures representing the infant Jesus, his mother Mary, and Mary's husband, Joseph. Some nativity sets include other characters from the Biblical story such as shepherds, the Magi, and angels. The figures are usually displayed in a stable, cave, or other structure.

How to Setup a Nativity Set

Some nativity sets have more figurines than others. Consider this before setting the nativity scene.
The baby Jesus should be in the stable, in a manger in the middle of the scene. His mother Mary should be directly next to him. Joseph should be next in proximity to the infant. The animals and angels should be behind the family. Shepherds should be placed in front of the family on one side, while the magi should be on the outermost area of the nativity scene.

    Very nice lens. The picture in your second module "What is a Nativity Scene?"looks almost exactly like the one my mom had when I was a kid. Do you know where to buy this one?

    I'm sorry. I'm not really sure which one it is. It looks like a Fontanini nativity set-one of the smaller sets.

    I love my old Nativity Sets and think that they would make great gifts for newlyweds so they can keep theirs as long as we have kept ours. You have found some great ones to feature here. We have two that my husband had before we were married and they are both now treasured family heirlooms.
