nativity set

Bethlehem stable display

A nativity set is a collection of figurines depicting the birth of Jesus Christ, typically including Mary, Joseph, the infant Jesus in a manger, shepherds, angels, wise men, and animals like donkeys and sheep.

These displays appear in homes and churches during the Christmas season: We set up the nativity set on the mantelpiece every December.
