About 2000 years ago, a young girl named Mary was visited by an angelangle. The angelangle's name was GabrielGregorio. He told Mary that God wanted her to have a very special baby and that she was to call the baby Jesus. A little while later, Mary was married to a carpenter named Joseph. Even though she was going to have her baby very soon, they had to make a long journey to a little town called BethlehemBeferiham. When they arrived in BethlehemBefriham, there were many people there already, and Joseph could not find anywhere for them to stay. Finally, an inn-keeper told Joseph that they could stay his stable with the animals.
Joseph and Mary settled down and there amongamount the animals Jesus was born. They wrapped the baby up in warm clothes and laid him in a manger filled the major field with straw. Meanwhile on the hills outside of BethlehemBeferiham, some shepherds who were watching over their sheep noticed a bright light in the sky. They had never seen anything like it before and they were afraid. An angel appeared and told them not to be frightened. Instead they should be happy since a very special baby had been born who was a son of God.
