The Birth of Jesus - The Gospels

In this Bible Story, we witness the humble birth of our hero, Jesus. Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem for the census, and Mary begins to go into labor. The Christ child is visited by shepherds, and a man of God named Simeon who prophesied that He would be the light of the world. This story is inspired by Matthew 1:18-25 & Luke 2:1-39.

But when they got there the city was crowded and they had great trouble finding a place to stay. Finally settling in a stable, Mary gave birth to Jesus, and just as Jesus came to this Earth, God’s messengers proclaimed His glory and mission to the shepherds in a nearby field. At once they hurried to find the Messiah and gazed upon him.
