nativities
Manger tableau displays
Nativities is the plural of nativity, which refers to birth—particularly the circumstances surrounding someone's birth.
The word appears most often in religious contexts: the Nativity is the birth of Jesus Christ, and nativity scenes depict the manger setting with Mary, Joseph, and the infant.
Churches displayed their nativities throughout December.
In astrology, a nativity is a horoscope cast for the moment of birth.
