The commercial, secularized version of Christmas is lots of fun, with Santa, Frosty, Rudolph, and candy canes, but at the heart of it, Christmas is a religious holiday meant to commemorate the birth of Jesus. The centerpiece of many religious Christmas celebrations is often a Nativity scene, a tableau representing the image of Mary and Joseph with the infant Christ in a manger, usually surrounded by livestock, shepherds, three wise men, and angels. It s an image known around the world thanks to the pervasiveness of Christmas culture.
