How to use nativity in a sentence?

1. Michael Mars:

   There's nothing wrong with (having a nativity scene on government property) ... if other religions can be accepted as well, there can't be one dominating voice to all the voices.

2. Luca Favarin:

   The nativity scene is the image of a refugee who seeks shelter and finds it in a stable.

3. William Shakespeare, "The Merry Wives of Windsor", Act 5 scene 1:

   This is the third time; I hope good luck lies in odd numbers.... There is divinity in odd numbers, either in nativity, chance, or death.

4. Michael Nazir-Ali:

   The words the Lord Jesus occur three times in the carol and point to the central message of Christmas which is : God is with us in Jesus. Everything in the Church, where the Nativity play is being held, points to this central truth of the Christian Faith.

5. Nicky Grimaldi:

   It really is quite unusual to find paintings hidden in this way and to discover a Nativity scene in this detail and just before Christmas was really incredible.
