Question
Name the person who first introduced and created the first nativity scene (crib)
in 1223 (a "living" one) in order to cultivate the worship of Christ,
having been inspired by his recent visit to the Holy Land
where he had been shown Jesus' traditional birthplace.
The crib unites the gospel stories of Luke (angels and shepherds)
and Matthew (magi) along with images
from the Old Testament (manger and animals).
