⭐ The Nativity
New Testament Luke 2; Matthew 2
An angel named Gabriel told Mary, a young woman in Nazareth, that she would have a baby named Jesus. Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem to be counted in a census.
The town was full, and there was no room at the inn. Jesus was born in a stable and laid in a manger. Angels appeared to shepherds nearby, singing, "Glory to God, and on earth peace!" The shepherds hurried to see the baby.
Wise men followed a bright star from the East and brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Christians celebrate this story at Christmas.
