Dear children, I want to offer some readings about the symbols of Christmas, a holiday beloved by children and adults.
Story of Christmas: The Nativity.
The first true story of the nativity scene was created in the church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. This practice became so popular that soon many other churches will join. Each created a special and unique crib. The scenes of the nativity were often decorated with gold, silver, jewelry and precious stones.
Although very popular among the wealthier classes, this wealth was the most distant from the meaning of Jesus' birth
We have "our" current crib with St. Francis of Assisi, who in 1224 decided to create the first Nativity as described in the Bible really was. The crib that St. Francis created in the country of Greccio, was made of carved figures, straw and real animals.
The message was direct and could be understood and acknowledged by all, rich and poor.
The popularity of the Nativity of St. Francis grew to expand all over the world. In France it is called
Crèche, Krippe in Germany, Spain and Latin America called Nacimiento, the Czech Republic is said Jeslicky, Brazil is said Pesebre, and in Costa Rica is said Portal.
