Pope Francis visits the Nativity scene in St. Peter’s Square after leading vespers on New Year’s Eve at the Vatican in 2016. This Advent, the pope took the unusual step of writing to Catholics about the importance of setting up and displaying a crèche or Nativity scene, not only at home but also in “the workplace, schools, hospitals, prisons, and town squares.” On Page 10, Mike Aquilina explains how its medieval, Franciscan roots illustrate why the crèche is much more than just a traditional Christmas decoration.
