Birth of Jesus Christ, Story, History, Images,Pictures of Jesus Christ
On a fine day about 2,000 years ago, an angel named “Gabriel” appeared to a young Jewish lady named Mary. Gabriel told Mary that she would have a son, named Jesus, who would be the Son of God! Mary was very confused and worried about this sudden news, but Mary had faith in God.
Journey to Bethlehem:-
Mary and her husband-to-be, Joseph, they lived in a town called Nazareth. But they had to travel to the other city called Bethlehem to register for a census that was ordered by the Roman emperor known as “Caesar Augustus”. Both places Nazareth and Bethlehem are in the country now called “Israel”. It is about 65 miles (105 km) distance from Nazareth to Bethlehem, and this trip probably took them several days of traveling.When Joseph and Mary got to Bethlehem city, there was not a single place for them to stay because all the inn were already full. They ended up spending the night in a horse stable, a place where horses were kept. There was probably fresh hay on the floor of stable that they used for their beds.
On That night, Jesus was born. There was no crib, so they laid the baby Jesus in a manger that is a feeding trough for animals. That manger probably had fresh hay in it and they made a nice bed for the baby Jesus.

Wise Men Visited Jesus:-
Wise men from the East side came to worship Jesus, bringing gifts made of gold, myrrh and frankincense.
Sometime later, wise men, or also known as magi, from eastern countries saw a shining star in the sky that signaled the birth of a new king on earth. They came to Judaea, the region around Jerusalem and Bethlehem, to worship Jesus, there new king.
A man named “Herod” was the king of Judea. He called all the wise men to a meeting and told them to find there new king so he could also go and worship there new king “Jesus”.
The wise men continued on to Bethlehem city and followed the star until it was directly above the house where Jesus stay. They found Mary and Jesus in the house and knelt down before them to worship Him. They brought Jesus gifts made of gold, myrrh and frankincense, some of the finest things of the time of ancient world. Frankincense was used to burn to make a sweet and pleasant smell, and myrrh was an expensive perfume for Jesus.
After visiting to the Jesus, the wise men had a dream about the king Herod that warned them not to go back to him, so they took a different route to their home.

Journey to Egypt:-
King Herod lied when he told the wise men that he wanted to worship the new king Jesus. He was afraid that this new “king” would replace him as king of the Judaea. He did not understand that Jesus the new king would grow up to be the king of God’s spiritual kingdom, not king of Judaea.
What King Herod really wanted was to find the Jesus and kill Him! Herod was furious when he realized that the wise men had not come back to tell him where to find the new king Jesus. He sent his soldiers to Bethlehem city to kill all the children who were under two years old, thinking that Jesus would certainly be one of the ones who has been killed.
But God had told Joseph in his dream to flee to Egypt. Joseph took Mary and his son Jesus to live in Egypt where they would be safe from King Herod. Joseph, Mary and their son Jesus stayed in Egypt until king Herod had died, and then they returned to Nazareth city.
