Kufstein is a town in the western Austrian province of Tyrol. The 
medieval Kufstein Fortress, accessible by funicular or steep path, 
has views of the Lower Inn Valley and the Alps. It is also home 
to a local history museum and the huge, open-air Heroes Organ. 
Narrow streets like Römerhofgasse are lined with traditional 
Tyrolean houses. The Riedel Glass factory has been family-run since 1756.

In the Christian tradition, a nativity scene (also known as a manger scene, 
crib, crèche (/krɛʃ/or /kreɪʃ/, or in Italian presepio or presepe) is the 
special exhibition, particularly during the Christmas season, of art objects 
representing the birth of Jesus.[1] While the term "nativity scene" may be 
used of any representation of the very common subject of the Nativity of Jesus 
in art, it has a more specialized sense referring to seasonal displays, either 
using model figures in a setting or reenactments called "living nativity scenes" 
(tableau vivant) in which real humans and animals participate. Nativity scenes 
exhibit figures representing the infant Jesus, his mother, Mary, 
and her husband, Joseph.

Other characters from the nativity story, such as shepherds, sheep, and angels 
may be displayed near the manger in a barn (or cave) intended to accommodate 
farm animals, as described in the Gospel of Luke. A donkey and an ox are typically 
depicted in the scene, and the Magi and their camels, described in the Gospel of 
Matthew, are also included. Several cultures add other characters and objects that 
may or may not be Biblical.
