What Christmas is
Christmas is the memorial of the birth of Jesus. It’s the tale of baby Jesus, the virgin mother Mary, the father Joseph.
Approximately 2000 years ago God sent an angel to Israel, to a virgin named Mary. She was committed to Joseph. The angel told Mary that by the power of the Holy Spirit, she would conceive and bear a son.
When Joseph understood that Mary was pregnant, an angel instructed him to marry her. Joseph took her to Bethlehem to register for a census.
I’m Bethlehem, Mary gave birth to Jesus. She put him in a manger because there was no room at the inn.
