The Birth of Jesus: Good News in Bethlehem

A decree from Caesar Augustus sent Joseph and Mary from Nazareth to David’s town of Bethlehem. There, Mary gave birth to her firstborn son and laid him in a manger because no guest room was available. Shepherds in nearby fields were startled by an angel announcing great joy for all people: a Savior, the Messiah, had been born. Suddenly a multitude of heavenly hosts praised God, proclaiming peace on earth. After the angels returned to heaven, the shepherds hurried to Bethlehem. They found the child as promised and shared the news, glorifying God for all they had seen and heard.
