Joseph and his wife Mary lived in Nazareth and had to go to Bethlehem, where Joseph’s ancestors had lived. When they came to Bethlehem, there was no place to stay, all hotels were full. It was time for the baby to be born. The only place they found was a stable. And there among the friendly animals Jesus was born.

Slide 3. Adoration of the Shepherds.

P: Shepherds were looking after their sheep in the field, when they saw an angel. They were frightened. The angel brought good news. He said that a new king was born. The shepherds came to Bethlehem, found the stable with Mary and Jesus and bowed to the newly born king.
