Mary and Joseph went to the town of
Bethlehem. When they got there, all of the
hotels were full. They had to spend the night in
a stable. When Jesus was born, they wrapped
him up and put him in a manger.

came to see some shepherds that night. The
angel said, “I bring you good news! A savior
has been born!”
Many people came to visit Jesus. Some
people even brought gifts for him! Jesus was
going to be very important! God had come to
help his people, just as he promised in the
beginning.
