The Birth of Jesus
A little manger. Some shepherds. Wonderful news!
Mary and Joseph travelled to Bethlehem. While they were there, Jesus was born.
Mary wrapped him in cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no guest room available.
Nearby, shepherds were watching their sheep. An angel told them the joyful news: a Saviour had been born!
The shepherds hurried to find Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. Then they told others what they had seen and heard.
