The Nativity tableau or 'creche' will be presented on the evenings of Dec. 20-23 from 7 to 9 p.m. Members of the church stand like statues for half-hour shifts to present this tableau. The 'creche' is a custom that comes to us from France and is one of the earliest Christmas traditions. It was introduced in-troduced by St. Francis of Assisi in 1224. The making of 'creche' scenes did not become widespread until the sixteenth century, and today many homes contain small manger scenes to dramatize the Christmas story.
