Welcome, dear friends! Tonight, we will journey into a beautiful story about The Birth of Jesus. This tale is filled with love, joy, and hope, perfect for dreaming sweet dreams as we snuggle in for bedtime.
Chapter 1: A Special Journey
Once upon a time, in a small town called Nazareth, there lived a young woman named Mary. Mary was kind and gentle, and she loved to help others. One day, an angel named Gabriel visited her. The angel had an important message: Mary was going to have a special baby who would be the Son of God. Mary was surprised but also very happy. She said, «I will do as God wishes.»
Mary was engaged to a man named Joseph. When she told him the news, he was worried at first. But then an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him not to be afraid. The angel said, «Mary will have a baby boy, and you will name him Jesus.» Joseph trusted the angel’s words and decided to take care of Mary and the baby.
Soon, the Roman Emperor ordered everyone to return to their hometowns for a census. This meant that Mary and Joseph had to travel to Bethlehem, Joseph’s hometown. It was a long journey, and Mary was very close to having her baby.
They traveled for days on a donkey, through hills and valleys. Finally, they arrived in Bethlehem, but it was very crowded. There were no rooms available at any inn. Mary felt tired and worried, but Joseph kept looking for a place for them to stay.
Just when they thought they would have to sleep outside, a kind innkeeper saw them. He said, «I don’t have any rooms left, but you can stay in my stable. It’s warm and safe.» Mary and Joseph were grateful and followed him to the stable.
Chapter 2: A Joyful Birth
That night, under the twinkling stars, Mary gave birth to baby Jesus in the stable. She wrapped him in soft cloths and laid him in a manger filled with hay. The animals watched quietly as the little baby slept peacefully.
In the fields nearby, some shepherds were taking care of their sheep when suddenly an angel appeared before them! The shepherds were frightened at first, but the angel said, «Don’t be afraid! I bring you good news! Today in Bethlehem, a Savior has been born. You will find him wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.»
The shepherds were filled with joy! They hurried to Bethlehem to see the baby Jesus. When they arrived at the stable, they found Mary and Joseph with their newborn son. They knelt down and praised God for this wonderful gift.
As word spread about the birth of Jesus, people from far and wide came to see him. They brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Everyone rejoiced because they knew that this baby would bring hope and love to the world.
And so, under the starry sky in Bethlehem, the birth of Jesus marked the beginning of something truly special—a story of love that would last forever.
The end.
