The first nativity play was made long time ago, in 1223, by the great lover of Baby Jesus  - Saint Frank from Assisi in a rocky grotto in Greccio. Fathers and brothers from the Order spread this custom all around the world, also to Poland where already at the end of 13th century there appeared figures presenting the whole scene of Christ's birth. However, there came the time when people were bored with annual watching of the wooden or stone figures. Then the ingenious order brothers started to display the first mobile figures, later also puppet ones. Just those shows started to collect big crowds of people. Unfortunately, people's reaction about these presentations wasn't worthy of the place in which they were shown - church, and then nativity plays were taken away from there. They were displayed in different places (bigger houses, squares or  streets).
