The nativity is important to the religion because this depicts baby Jesus the savior being born. The baby Jesus is usually shown in a manger or in a hay bed. Surrounding baby Jesus begins with his mother the Virgin Mary, and his father Joseph. The Virgin Mary was specifically chosen by God, because she had never sinned in her life, and he felt that Mary was the best choice for a mother of the son of God. The setting of the nativity is usually a stable with animals because when Joseph and Mary made it to Bethlehem there were no open rooms in the inn so they were allowed to stay in a stable. Father back in the nativity there is usually the three wise men. God sent a star to the three wise men. The three wise men followed the star to Bethlehem. When they found baby Jesus, they presented him with Gold, Frankincense and myrrh. Also in some nativities it depicts angels either looking down on baby Jesus or with trumpets. This is showing that the messiah has come at last.

“The Nativity” is a very important to Christianity faith because i t details the birth of the messiah Jesus Christ. The image of Nativity is Mother Mary giving birth to Jesus Christ in a stable, with wise men, angels, and shepherds coming to pay homage to the birth of Jesus. The Nativity is directly linked to Christian faith because it is the start of Jesus Christ’s life, who is the embodiment of Christian values. The story behind the nativity is Mary and Joseph getting engaged and then married. They lived in Nazareth, but one day they must go on a journey to Bethlehem; this is during the period of Mary’s pregnancy. When Mary and Joseph arrived in Bethlehem, there were no more rooms in any inns, so one kind man let them stay in his stable. In that stable is where the savior Jesus Christ was born. Before he was born, an angel came and told Mary that her that her son would be God’s son, and a messiah, and that she must name him Jesus. King Herod was angry at the birth of Jesus and ordered his wise men to kill Jesus, but when they went to find him in Bethlehem, he had escaped with his family to Egypt. The scene of the nativity entails the magnitude of the birth of Jesus Christ. Even at his birth he was a great man, that was expressed by the fear his presence struck in King Heron, Jesus was just a baby and the King feared him and wanted him dead to make life easier. The magnitude of his birth was also shown though the people who attended his birth. People came from many cities and towns from far and near to see his birth. Through the nativity, it was also shown that there would be struggles in his life, he was not born in great circumstances, and it was in a stable instead of a lush room with a lot of time to prepare. This all relates to Christianity because it gives an overview of how the religion will start and what is bound to happen in its future, and the legacy it will leave. This is all expressed through one powerful man, the messiah, Jesus Christ. That is why that one event, the Nativity, impacted Christianity so much, and shaped it into the religion it is today. Based on your intro sentence, I thought you would talk more about the fact that God became man. The background story does not add to this central story.
