What is the significance of the Sagrada Família’s facades?

The Sagrada Família has three monumental facades. The first is the Nativity facade on the northeast side of the church, which celebrates Jesus’ birth; the second is the Passion facade on the southwest side, which depicts Jesus’ Crucifixion; and the third is the southeast-facing Glory facade, the church’s main entrance, which shows how humans can celebrate divine glory.
