The story
After their long journey, Mary and Joseph reached Bethlehem late at night. Every room was full. At last they found a stable, a place for the animals, and there, in the quiet night, Jesus was born. Mary wrapped him in cloths and laid him in a manger, on the soft hay.
In the fields nearby, shepherds were watching their sheep. Suddenly an angel appeared, shining with God’s glory, and told them not to be afraid: a Savior had been born, and they would find him lying in a manger. Then a whole crowd of angels filled the sky, praising God and singing of peace on earth.
The shepherds hurried to Bethlehem and found Mary, Joseph and the baby, just as the angel had said. They told everyone what they had seen, and they went home praising God. And Mary kept all these things in her heart.
