Wikipedia defines the Christian Nativity scene as a depiction, whether two or three dimensional, of the baby Jesus (in a manger), Mary and Joseph in an animal barn. Sometimes the Three Kings will be included and at times shepherds too.
Ever since I can remember as a child, we would always have this Nativity scene as one of the must have ornaments during Christmas time. It was also the oldest story ever told. Even little children would know who each person is and their importance. I still remember the times I asked my Mom to tell me the story of Jesus’ birth whenever we do our yearly Christmas decorations. The same thing happened when I had my own kids. The questions were endless at the start but then after some time, they themselves can practically tell the whole story on their own.
Jesus born in a manger… is the most symbolic event for me. It says a lot of things and I find it moving and true.
