2. In a town called Nazareth
there lived a women
called Mary. She was
engaged to a carpenter
called Joseph. One day an
angel called Gabriel told
Mary she had been
chosen to have a special
baby. The baby will be
gods son and she must call
him Jesus.
3. Mary was due to have her
baby when they were told
they had to travel to
Bethlehem; which is
where Joseph was from.
This was because they had
to pay a special text. Mary
had to ride on a donkey
for a few days over the
hills of Galilee.
4. Mary and Joseph arrived
in Bethlehem. Mary was
tired and needed a place
to stay. They at all of the
Inns if their was any room,
but everyone said no.
Eventually, one innkeeper
said he had a stable they
can stay in.
5. A few hours later Mary
gave birth to her son in
the stable. She wrapped
Jesus in strips of cloth and
lay him a manger full of
hay.
6. On a hillside overlooking
Bethlehem some
shepherds were watching
their sheep. Angel Gabriel
visited them to tell them
the good news. He told
them they would find the
son of God in Bethlehem.
7. The shepherds went to
see Jesus and told Mary
and Joseph that he was to
be the saviour of the
world.
8. Far in the East the wise
men saw a star shining
bright in the sky. They
knew this was a specials
star so they studied it. The
star meant that a greater
ruler had been born.
9. The wise men followed
the star all the way to
Jerusalem to see King
Herod, as they thought he
would be there. They
asked to see the child that
would be king of the Jews.
They King thought the
child would take his
thrown so asked the wise
men to return when they
found him.
10. The star guided the wise
men to Bethlehem. They
gave Jesus gifts, gold,
frankincense and myrrh.
That night the wise men
had a dream where the
angel warned them about
the king wanting to kill
Jesus. He warned them
not to go back to the
palace.
11. Joseph had a dream
where the angel told him
to take Mary and Jesus to
Egypt, as King Herod
ordered him to be killed.
They left Bethlehem
straight away. When the
rise men didn’t return
Herod ordered all the
babies in Bethlehem to be
killed.
