The Birth of Christ and the Nativity Story
The Birth of Christ
There are many different accounts of the Nativity scene and this is a brief overview of Christs birth. May his life prove to be inspirational to you. About two thousand years ago, there lived a young woman named Mary. Mary was set to marry a carpenter named Joseph. An archangel named Gabriel was sent from God to Nazareth to tell of good fortune. Gabriel told the virgin Mary she was chosen to have the Son of God. His name would be Jesus. Mary and Joseph had to leave and go to Bethlehem for the Census of Quirinius.* Select this link to view our large selection of Nativity Figurines.
Once there, Mary and Joseph could not find an inn, for all of them were full. They finally found shelter in a manger filled with animals. Mary gave birth to Baby Jesus and wrapped him in cloth and laid him in a feeding trough filled with hay. Select this link to view our beautiful line of Nativity Creches for Nativity Sets.
Shepherds
A bright light (Star of Bethlehem) shown down on the shepherds, making them fearful. The angel told them to not be afraid, for there is joyous news. A baby has been born and he is the Son of God. The angel said they would find the baby in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger. Quickly they went to find this baby. They soon spread the story of the newborn King*.

The Three Wise Men
By light of that same star, three kings from the East arrived to worship Jesus. They were said to have brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh for their Messiah. Because there were three gifts brought, there is thought to be three kings as well. Select this link to view our Nativity Ornaments.
King Herod learned of Jesus birth and felt his throne was being threatened. He ordered all children under two to be killed, known as the Massacre of the Innocents. Joseph took his family into hiding in Egypt until King Herod died. Select this link to view our line of Christmas Nativity Scene Sets.
