While a lot is often said about the Christmas tree and star, the crib depicting the iconic Nativity scene - featuring baby Jesus with his parents Joseph and Mary, and the three wise men - is the most glowing and important part of the Christmas spirit. The scene is a representation of the night of Jesus birth as depicted in the Gospels of Luke and Matthew in the Bible, and the arrival of three kings bearing the gifts for Christ, thereafter. It hence, truly symbolises the Christmas story.
