We know that Jesus was given birth by Virgin Mary in a manger in Bethlehem. Three kings and shepherds from all corners did come to this manger to see the child who they believed took birth to free the whole world from his sins. A Nativity set is prepared to commemorate this scene which happened in the manger.
