crèche
Holiday birth display
A crèche is a nativity scene—a display depicting the birth of Jesus, with figurines of Mary, Joseph, the infant in a manger, shepherds, and wise men.
Churches and homes set up crèches during the Christmas season.
In British usage, crèche also means a daycare facility for young children.
