The 'first of' any pious practice would be hard to determine, especially centuries ago. One can easily imagine small children with their dolls performing their own miracle play on the day when adults were celebrating.

St Francis of Assisi certainly did much to promote it in 1223 at Gréccio, Italy, where it first came into historical notice.
