| | Nativity scene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A nativity scene (usually capitalized if referring to the birth of Jesus), also called a crib or crèche (meaning "crib" or "manger" in French) generally refers to any depiction of the birth or birthplace of Jesus. | | | A mule and an ox accompany them, after the Apocryphal Gospels. | | | The traditional scenes that show the shepherds and Magi together are of course not true to the Bible story, since the Magi arrived much later (Luke 2:7-16). |

| | Nativity Scenes and Nativity Sets. |
| | Around the world the nativity is brought to life by churches and other groups. | | | The creche usually depicts the entire Christmas scene: the manger, angel, star, shepherds, kings, and of course the Holy Family. | | | Since then, the practice has spread around the world in pageants, church reproductions, neighborhood rituals such as the posada, professionally staged plays where huge casts including live animals are utilized, and of course the school plays where sometimes the imaginative interpretations of the script provides highly original versions of the events. |
