Now at this time Caesar Augustus issued a decree for a census of the whole world be be taken.This census - the first - took place when Quirinius was governor of Syria, and everyone went to his own town to be registered.
So Joseph set out from the town of Nazareth in Galilee and travelled up to Judea, to the town of David called Bethelhem, since he was of David's house and line, in order to be registered together with Mary, his bethrothed, who was with child.
While they were there the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to a son, her first-born. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them at the inn. (Luke 2: 1 - 7).
May the joy and the peace of Christ
be with you this Christmas
