They are sometimes called "creches" after the French word for stable. At their most conventional, they include elements from the nativity story in both Matthew's and Luke's Gospels, as follows:
- one rough wooden building (the stable)
- one cow
- one donkey
- one feeding trough (manger) containing straw and a baby (Jesus) wrapped in cloth
- one woman (Mary, mother of Jesus) wearing blue and kneeling
- one man (Joseph) standing
- one shepherd with crook (staff with hooked end)
- two sheep, one of which is usually a lamb and may be carried by the shepherd
- three Persian potentates, carrying small boxes or jars
- one star immediately above the scene
