nativity scenes
Bethlehem birth displays
Nativity scenes are representations of Jesus Christ's birth, typically displayed during the Christmas season.
The standard arrangement includes figures of the infant Jesus in a manger, Mary and Joseph, shepherds, animals, and the three Magi—though the wise men technically arrived later.
These displays range from simple tabletop figurines to elaborate life-sized outdoor installations.
Every year they set up the nativity scene on the church lawn.
