The Birth of Jesus

And then it happened! In that simple stable in Bethlehem, baby Jesus was born. Mary wrapped him in soft cloths and laid him in a manger — a box where animals eat their food. That night, shepherds were watching their sheep in the fields nearby. Suddenly, an angel appeared! "Don't be afraid!" the angel said. "I bring you wonderful news! A baby has been born who will save the world. You'll find him in a manger." The shepherds ran to the stable and found baby Jesus, just as the angel said. They knelt down and worshipped him. A bright star shone above the stable, telling the whole world that the King of Love had arrived.
