The Nativity scene, a representation of the Nativity of Jesus, has its roots in Christian tradition. Its origin is commonly attributed to Saint Francis of Assisi, who in 1223 in Greccio staged the first living re-enactment of the birth of Christ. This initiative aimed to make the mystery of the Incarnation more tangible and understandable, allowing the faithful to contemplate with greater devotion the poverty and humility of the cave of Bethlehem. Since then, the Nativity scene has become a universal symbol of Christmas, an invitation to reflect on the values of peace, love and hope that the coming of Jesus brings into the world. Its veneration is manifested in the domestic and public setting, a rite that unites generations and cultures in the celebration of faith.
