2024The Nativity - Block of 4

The Nativity of Jesus Christ is the reason for the holiday of Christmas, with the crib playing a major part in the world's festive celebrations. In the 13th century, St. Francis of Assisi re-enacted the scene of The Nativity, by creating a live crib including people and livestock. The location of this first crib was in the medieval town of Greccio, Italy.
