LET’S READ! Read “The story of the birth of Jesus”

Long ago, in a place called Nazareth, lived a woman named Mary. She was a
hardworking woman. She was engaged to be married to a man named Joseph.
One day, God sent an angel to Mary. The angel, Gabriel, told her that God was
sending a holy spirit to Earth to help people that soul would be born as Mary's
son, and she would name him Jesus. Mary was worried, how this was possible
since she wasn't married, but the angel assured her that it would be a miracle
from God. The angel also told her that her cousin, Elizabeth, who had no children,
would also give birth to a baby called John, who would prepare the way for Jesus’
birth.
She went to meet Elizabeth and returned after three months.
By then, she was pregnant. This worried Joseph. But one
night, while he was asleep, an angel visited him and told him
about God's will, and urged him to marry Mary. Joseph woke
up the next morning and decided that he would make Mary
his wife.

After the wedding, Joseph and Mary made a trip to Bethlehem. However, when
they reached there, they could not find a place to stay as the village was
crowded. So, they decided to stay in a barn where animals lived. It was there
that Mary gave birth to the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

The birth of Jesus was signified by a bright star in the

sky. Wise men from different parts of the world
understood the significance of this star and followed it
to reach Bethlehem. They brought along gifts for the
baby and his parents. In other parts of Bethlehem,
where shepherds were grazing their sheep, angels
appeared to give them the good news. They sang and
made merry to welcome the Holy Spirit to earth.

Since then, this day has been celebrated as Christmas.
