The first nativity scene was created by St. Francis of Assisi in the 13th century.  St. Francis of Assisi had a special devotion to the infant Jesus.  Since that time, nativity scenes have been a popular Christmas celebration in Christian homes and churches around the world. Displaying a nativity scene near the Christmas tree is a reminder for the whole family of the reason for the season.  Family traditions such as this make ornate nativity manger sets, like this one, perfect as family heirlooms. This nativity scene is large and beautiful, meant to be a focal point in your home this holiday season. Unlike most manger scenes that mainly focus detail on the characters, this one also adds thick and tall manger walls as a detailed backdrop. Overall a lovely nativity set for your Christmas decoration collection.
