The original birth announcement, now reenacted yearly by bored kids in bathrobes.
means The circumstances of one's birth, or the scene/story depicting someone's (especially Jesus's) birth.
from From Latin 'nativitas' (birth), built on 'natus,' the past participle of 'nasci,' meaning 'to be born' — the same root that gives us 'native,' 'nature,' and 'nation.' It entered English through Old French 'nativité' around the medieval period, initially tied closely to Christian usage marking Christ's birth, before loosening to describe birth or origin more generally.
