2. Christmas in France
 The French are very faithful people, so Christmas
traditions in France could not take the lack of
religious elements. Both in churches and in homes is
to stage at birth. This custom was introduced to the
country in the late fourteenth century by Francis of
Assisi, founder of the Franciscan Order. The scene is
​
made using clay figures and besides they are placed
figurines representing other authorities that place.
In southern France, the scene is done and other
figures who embody the Magi, shepherds and
animals, and various characters as mayor or some
peasant. The front seats churches and cathedrals,
often put in Nativity scene with theater, where
people come and look with great love.
