His nativity set was actually set in a cave near Greccio and the important point was that it was a living scene. It had animals and humans cast in the relevant Biblical roles. It was given the blessing of the pope at the time and it grew to the point that every Church in Italy had a nativity scene within 100 years.

Since the 18th century, one of  the oldest nativity scenes in the United States is the Moravian Church in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Hope this short little bit of history helps you enjoy your nativity set a little bit more.
