 * To find this source
 * We googled "Nativity"
 * It started out broad but we narrowed it down to the sites with the most information.
 * We looked at the first few sources, but some of them did not sound reliable.
 * Then on the second page we found this source.
 * Notes on the Source
 * "Nativity" is derived from the Latin word "natal", which means "birth".
 * Before Jesus was born, there was talk that he was the Messiah
 * Mary gave birth to Jesus in a stable because she had just come into town and there were no rooms in any inns.
 * The typical scene of nativity is drawn of when the wise men came to pay homage to the birth of Jesus. Shepherds and angels also came to worship Jesus. If you look at the image of "nativity", you will see all of those people.
 * Nativity is celebrated around Christmas, and people have images of it in church, a few people even have nativity Christmas tree ornaments.
