The Story of Jesus Birth

A long time ago, in the town of Nazareth, lived a young woman named Mary. 

Mary loved God very much, she was engaged to be married to Joseph,

who was a carpenter. One day an angel suddenly appeared to Mary and told her

that she was favored by God. The angel told her that she will have a baby boy,

and have to give him the name Jesus."

Mary was confused; she was not yet married to Joseph, so how could she have a baby? 

The angel thought that this might concern Mary so he said,

"The Holy Spirit will perform a miracle, and because of this your baby will be

called the Son of God."

Soon after, Joseph found out that Mary was going to have a baby.  Joseph was confused

and upset by this, but an angel came to him in a dream and said, "Joseph do not be afraid

to take Mary as your wife.  The child Mary is going to have is God's son, and you are to

give him the name Jesus."

Mary and Joseph had a baby!  But this wasn't just any baby, he was Baby Jesus! 

The creator of the whole world, the King of Kings, and the one who would save the world.

The little baby boy fell asleep in Mary's arms. She wrapped him in cloths and laid him

in a manger on some clean straw. After Jesus’ birth, Wise men from the east came to Jerusalem.

The Wise saw the child with his mother Mary. They bowed down they opened their treasures.
They gave him gold, incense and myrrh.

The gift of gold represented Jesus as a king with an everlasting throne.

The gift of frankincense is said to have been an acknowledgement of

Jesus’ priesthood, setting him apart from a typical king.

The gift of myrrh is symbolize bitterness, suffering it represent his suffering in Crucifixion.
