Joseph was worried when he found out that Mary was married before the expectation of a child. She was wondering if she should completely remove her from marriage. Then an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and said: 'Mary should not be treated as a wife.' The angel explained that Mary had chosen Mary to be the mother of her son and told Joseph that the child's name would be Jesus, which means 'Savior' because he will save people.

Mary and Joseph traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem a long way (because about 70 miles), because Joseph's family came from here. Most people went but some lucky people had donkey in carrying essential items for travel. Joseph and Mary traveled very slowly because Mary's child was soon born
When they reached Bethlehem, they had trouble to stay there so many people had come to register their names in the census, that every house had been completed and every guest room was taken every bed. The only place to live is that they can meet with animals can find. People often used to keep animals at home especially in the night, and used them like 'central heating'! People normally slept with animals raised / raised at upper levels so that they got extra heat.

Outside Bethlehem in the mountains and areas, the shepherds take care of their sheep for a long time. As the new day began, suddenly an angel appeared before them and the glory of God shone around them. The shepherds were very scared, but the angel said, 'Do not be afraid.

Then many other angels were seen shining above the sky. The shepherds praised him for singing God: "Glory of God in the highest, and peace for everyone on earth." When the angels had gone, the shepherds said to each other, 'Look, we go to Bethlehem to see what has happened.' So the shepherds went to Bethlehem and saw Mary and Joseph. The child Jesus was lying on a street because he was told. When they saw him, he told everything the angel had said, and he was surprised to hear the story. Then the shepherds returned to their sheep and praised God for their son to be their Savior.

When Jesus was born, a new bright star appeared in the sky. In remote countries, some wise men saw the star and guess what it meant. He was a very wise man who studied stars and studied in very old articles that a new star would appear when a great king was born. They were ready to find the new king and give him gifts.

The wise men were behind the star of Jewish country and when they came to the capital city of Jerusalem, they asked the people: 'Where is the child who is the king of the Jews?' King Herod of Judea listened to this and it gives him a lot of anger that anyone would want to take his place as king. Herod sent a wise man to come to him. He asked them to follow the star until they found the baby king. He said: 'When you find him, tell me where he is, so that I go and worship him.' But Herod did not tell them that it was actually a bad plan to kill the new king.

The wise men used to chase the stars towards Bethlehem (where it was said that the king would be born in old articles). It seemed that at that place where Jesus was directly, he closed it straight and started shining.

The gift was gold, frankincense and myrrh. Wise men were warned in a dream, not God, to return to Herod. Therefore, they returned home to their countries in a different way in the past.

Christmas Story - Joseph, Joseph and Jesus in Egypt
When the wise men went, an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream. 'Get up,' the angel said, 'take Jesus and Mary and flee to Egypt. Stay there till I tell you, because Herod is looking for Jesus to kill him. So Joseph got up and took Jesus and Mary to Egypt in the night, where he stayed until Herod's death.

When Herod realized that he was betrayed by an intelligent man, he was angry and ordered that all the boys of two or less were killed in Bethlehem and the surrounding area, to try and kill this new king, Because his plan failed to find the place of the new king of the wise man.

After Herod's death, Joseph had another dream in which an angel had seen him. The angel said, Get up, take Jesus and Mary and return to Israel, because those who were trying to kill Jesus Are dead

So Joseph got up, took Jesus and Mary, and they returned to Israel. But when he heard that Herod's son was now the king of Judea, he was afraid to go there. Instead, they went to Galilee and lived in their old Nazareth city.
