Angel appears to Mary
A Long time ago in Galilee Young woman, Mary, was praying and having quiet
time with God, at her knees, in her
house.
Mary believed God, and wanted to serve Him in her life.
While Mary was praying, suddenly Angel came to next to her. Mary was scared. “Who are you?” she asked.
Angel spoke “ Do not be afraid Mary, ” Still Mary was scared, and tried to hide behind the bench… “Im angel, Gabriel” Angel said
and continued speaking “ you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and he will be named JESUS”
And then Angel asked Holy spirit to come from the heavens, and bring life inside Mary. Mary was now carrying Baby for Father God.
Angel went away, and Mary prayed wisdom for the future from God,
And started to sleep.

Middle of the Night
Joseph Ran to Marys home, and
woke her up.
Joseph was very anxious, and couldn’t speak very clearly.
Mary was still half sleep, and Joseph started to speak to her.
“Mary! Angel came to me at night”
Joseph swallowed very loudly, and continued speaking.
“Angel said you are having Gods baby, I didn’t know what to think”
Mary touched her belly, and remembered what happened before to her.
“It wasn’t dream then” Mary said and continued
“Angel visited me also”
Joseph interrupted Mary and said to her
“Mary, I don’t know what is happening, But I know we have to get married”
Mary was surprised from this middle night propose, but she agreed, and nod her head. “Yes you are right”
Joseph and Mary hugged each other.
Because it was almost morning, they both left outside to walk, and they were going to get married soon.
In that time it was huge thing, if baby was born outside marriage,
and even Joseph wasn’t the biological father for the baby, he knew he was supposed to raise this coming child as his own.

8 Months later at Galilee (Trip to Bethlehem)
There was people around in the streets. walking, talking and going to work.
Joseph and Mary were among the people too. They were sitting on the bench,
talking something together.
One of the people at the street started to speak.
“Caesar Augustus issued a degree, that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world, everyone must go to their own town to register themselves”
People leaved the streets and went to tell news to all friends and close ones.
Mary and Joseph also had to leave. They started a trip to Judea, to town called Bethlehem… It was very hard to walk to Mary, because she was soon going to give birth. They took donkey, and Mary could ride it, while Joseph was walking:
And they started the journey to the Bethlehem…
They had long trip, and sometimes Mary was so tired, she slept on the back of donkey.
Once they finally came to Bethlehem , they went door to door, but never found place to live. They were just now houses were they could stay night, so they had to sleep in the barn, were animals also slept.
Then came time for the baby to be born, and Mary gave birth to her first child, a son. Mary hold baby and her eyes were shining. Baby was so beautiful.
They named baby Jesus, as angel was said, and Mary put baby to the Manger, which was found in barn. Night came, and Joseph, Mary, Jesus and animals started to sleep.
