The Nativity

One night, The Virgin Mary was visited by an angel named Gabriel, and was told she will be having a baby, destined to be the son of God and his name would be Jesus.

Everyone gathered to Bethlehem after they heard about the son of God’s birth. Three wisemen followed a bright star in the sky as they travelled far and wide to welcome Jesus into the world, with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. A donkey carried Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem where there was no space at the inn except for a stable and a manger where the baby would shortly be born. The only thing in their way was King Herod who was horrified by the news, but he didn’t stand a chance against the son of God.

The angels, wisemen, shepherds, and animals all gathered in the stable to welcome the new life of Jesus! Since then, on the 25^th of December, every year, we celebrate Christmas.
