Nearly eight hundred years ago, the world's first nativity scene was created by Saint Francis of Assisi in the little town of Greccio, Italy. Now a delightful new children's book takes this story of Saint Francis from a thirteenth-century biography and retells it in the style of a charming folktale. Complete with colorful, expressive illustrations, Saint Francis Celebrates Christmas will inspire you, your teachers, catechists, parents, and children as you prepare for the celebration of Christmas.
