A Christmas Crèche, also known as a nativity scene, is a model or tableau that depicts the birth of Jesus Christ. It typically includes figures representing Mary, Joseph, the baby Jesus, and various other characters such as shepherds, wise men, and angels. These scenes are often displayed during the Christmas season to celebrate the story of Christ's birth. Crèches can vary in size and style, ranging from simple arrangements to elaborate displays. They are made from various materials, including wood, clay, and plastic. Many families and churches set up crèches as a way to reflect on the significance of Christmas and the message of peace and goodwill.
