The Christmas Story

   In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. Luke 2:1
     So there was going to be a census! This meant that everyone had to be counted in their own town. Because Joseph was a decendant of David, he took his fiance, Mary, with him to Bethlehem.
     Because there was no room in the inn, they went into a cave where Mary gave birth to Jesus.
     While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:6-7

   There were shepherds watching over their sheep this night, and an angel came to them.
     But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. Luke 2:10-12
    After the angel had said this, the angel went back to heaven and the shepherds went to worship the baby.
