Christmas
What do you know about Christmas Can you tell your classmates how Christmas came
Birth of Jesus
Once there was a man named Joseph and his wife named Mary. It is said that one night an angel came to them and told them they would have a special boy. The boy would save his people.
At that time ,everyone had to go back to their own hometown to be counted. Mary and Joseph had to travel before the baby was born. It was a long journey. They didn't arrive until very late one night. They looked for a place to stay, but they didn't find. At last, the owner of a house said they could stay in the barn. That night Mary gave birth to this special boy.
Soon after the baby was born, angels appeared to some shepherds in a field near the town. Angels told them a special boy was born, he would save them. The boy was named Jesus by his father, but people called him Jesus Christ because Christ means to save. Years later, people still celebrate Jesus' birthday. They call it Christmas, which comes from the name Christ.
