Nativity

" Now the birth of Jesus was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he thought about these  things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream saying, 'Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."   Matthew 1:18-21

"Now there were in the same country, shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night." Luke 2: 8

" And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them. And they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David, a Savior who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign to you: you will find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger." Luke 2:9

"And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men."  Luke 2:10-14

"After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem saying, 'Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have cone to worship Him.'" Matthew 2:1-2

"...and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. Whey they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasure, they presented gifts to Him; gold, frankincense, and myrrh." Matthew 2:9-11
