DID YOU KNOW THAT THE
FIRST NATIVITY SCENE WAS
BUILT OVER 700 YEARS AGO?

      AN ITALIAN GUY NAMED  
    FRANCIS CAME UP WITH THE
     IDEA FOR THE VILLAGERS 
     WHO WERE ILLITERATE AND
     COULDN'T READ THE STORY
       OF MARY AND JOSEPH.  

        HERE IN THE UNITED  
       STATES, IT'S CALLED A
     'NATIVITY' SCENE - IN   
  FRANCE IT'S REFERRED TO AS
           'CRECHE,' SPANISH
            SPEAKING PEOPLE 
     'NACIMIENTO'.

   FRANCIS ALSO CAME UP WITH
         THE IDEA FOR       
           CHRISTMAS CAROLS.
