The term "Nativity" refers to the birth of Jesus Christ, which is celebrated by Christians around the world, particularly during the holiday of Christmas. The Nativity story is primarily found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, detailing the circumstances surrounding Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, including the visit of the shepherds and the Magi. Nativity scenes, also known as crèches, depict this event and typically include figures such as Mary, Joseph, the infant Jesus, angels, and various animals. These scenes serve as a visual representation of the Nativity story and are commonly displayed in homes and churches during the Christmas season.
