The angel said that Mary was going to have a baby who would be God’s Son.
But when they arrived, there was no place for them to stay.
It was the very first Christmas!
They took presents of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to give
Jesus.
Many years ago, Mary
lived in a town called Nazareth. She was planning to marry Joseph, a carpenter.
The shepherds were excited and went to visit baby Jesus.
Mary’s baby was born that night, and she laid Him in a manger.
The angel also told Joseph and said the baby’s name would be
Jesus.
One night before that happened, an angel visited Mary.
