The first mention of a Christmas crib is in the bible, when the baby Jesus was laid in a manger. However, it was in 1293 that St Francis of Assisi put a cr̬che in the woods on Christmas Eve and gathered some people for a service. It is said that the babe appeared in the crib. The idea of having a crib in a town to celebrate Christmas was soon adopted all over the Christian world.
