Best Answer

Classically, nativity scenes include donkeys, in part because the Virgin Mary was thought to have ridden a donkey into the town where she ultimately gave birth to Jesus. Additionally, donkeys are seen in the nativity because Jesus was born in a manger within a barn, and one might presume there were animals being sheltered in the barn at the same time.
