And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This census first took place while Quirinius was Governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her first born son and whapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them at the inn.

In the same region there were some shepherds staying in the fields and keeping watch over their flock. An angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terribly afraid. But the angel said "Do not be afraid; for behold I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Luke 2:1-11

MERRY CHRISTMAS
