Pleaseread Luke 2:1-14
Now in those days a decreewent out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabitedearth … Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea,to the city of David which is called Bethlehem…in order to register along withMary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. While they were there, thedays were completed for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstbornson; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there wasno room for them in the inn. In the same region there were some shepherdsstaying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. And anangel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone aroundthem; and they were terribly frightened. But the angel said to them, “Do not beafraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for allthe people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you aSaviour, who is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find ababy wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
