Christmas Nativity Set

For most Christians, the scene of the Holy Nativity is one of the most recognizable symbols during the Christmas season. The Christmas nativity set represents the birth of Jesus described in the gospels of Luke and Matthew. Nativity scenes include at a minimum the infant Jesus, mother Mary, and her husband, Joseph. The concept is for the baby Jesus to be in a stable or manager with the Holy Family at this side. A Christmas nativity set can also include other characters from the Biblical story such as the shepherd, the Magi(or Three Kings), and angels. In most cases, an ox and a donkey representing the people of Israel and the Gentiles are present.<!-- wysiwyg -->
