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.
