The prophets had been telling us for hundereds of years that the savior was coming. Finally, he did.
The angel Gabriel came to Mary, Jesus' mother, and told her that she would give birth as a virgin to the Messiah. Soon Mary and Joseph were on their way to Bethlehem for the census. Since everyone was there in Bethlehem, there was no room for Mary and Joseph in the inns. Jesus was born in manger that night. The Star of Bethlehem was a extremely bright star that shone in the sky for a couple of years after Jesus was born. This is how the wise men found Jesus. COMMON MISTAKE: there were not three wise men. Scholars are not sure of the exact number. The number three was given because of the three gifts given to Jesus by the wise men. |
