creches
Stable scene setups
Creches are nativity scenes—displays depicting the birth of Jesus, with figures of Mary, Joseph, the infant, shepherds, and animals arranged in a stable setting.
Churches and homes display creches during the Christmas season.
In British usage, a creche is also a nursery or daycare facility for young children: The office has a creche for employees' children.
