Christmas is a special time for Christians. The Christian story can be read in the second part of the biblethe new testament. The full story of Jesus' birth and the events surrounding it can be found in the Bible in the book of Matthew, Chapters 1 and 2, with a slightly different account in Luke, Chapters 1 and 2 .
These two gospels tell slightly different accounts because they each wrote for a different audience. Matthew wrote for the Jews, Luke wrote for the non-Jews (Gentiles), so they emphasized different things.
'Nativity' is the word often used for the story of Jesus' birth. Both gospel accounts are used to piece the story together. This is a summary of the nativity story
In Christianity, Jesus was born to a woman called Mary who was engaged to Joseph, a carpenter, in the town of Bethlehem. Before Jesus was born, Mary was visited by an angel who told her that she would give birth to a baby and that the baby would be called Jesus, also sometimes known as Emmanuel, which means 'God with us'
Jesus was born in Bethlehem because Joseph and Mary had gone there to take part in a census as this was. Joseph's home town. According to tradition when Mary and Joseph arrived in Bethlehem the local inn was already full with people returning for the census. The innkeeper let them stay in the rock cave below his house which was used as a stable for his animals. It was here, with the animals, that Mary gave birth to her son and laid him in a manger.
Luke and Matthew both tell of visitors to the baby Jesus. In Matthew's account, wise men visit Jesus. They had followed a star that led them to Jesus and they presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. These were signs of kingship and holiness. Luke tells how humble and poor shepherds were led to Jesus by an angel. For Christians this shows that Jesus came for all people of all races and backgrounds.
Matthew's account goes on to tell of Joseph being warned in a dream to escape to Egypt with Jesus and Mary as King Herod was going to be looking for the child to kill him. So during the night, they left Israel and started out on the journey to Egypt where they remained until after Herod's death.
The Christmas Story
There was once a young girl called Mary
An Angel appeared to her saying “You shall have a baby and his name will be Jesus. ” Mary was scared but she knew that God would look after her.
Mary had to travel a long way to a village called Bethlehem where she would have her baby. A donkey would help her and her husband Joseph arrive there safely.
Mary and Joseph travelled for many days and nights
When they arrived in Jerusalem, there was nowhere for them to stay – and so, that night, Jesus was born in a barn
That same night, an angel appeared in the sky to shepherds looking after their sheep. It gave them the good news that a King had been born
A bright shining star was also leading three wise men to the stable where this king had been born
The shepherds and wise men brought gifts for the baby Jesus and worshipped him on this First Christmas day.
