The Nativity scene, although not associated with a single saint, celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, a central event of the Christian faith. Its origin is attributed to Saint Francis of Assisi, who in 1223 in Greccio set up the first living representation of the Nativity. This gesture was intended to make the mystery of the Incarnation more tangible and understandable, allowing the faithful to "see with their eyes" the poverty and humility of the Savior's birth. Since then, the Nativity scene has become a widespread tradition throughout the world, evolving into different artistic and cultural forms, but always maintaining its profound meaning of announcing the coming of Christ and inviting contemplation of the divine mystery. Its veneration is manifested in domestic and public settings, in prayer and in reflection on the message of peace and hope that the Nativity brings with it.
