Today, we celebrated Jesus' birth! Mary and Joseph had to make the long trip to Bethlehem because Caesar Augustus (the ruler) wanted to do a census. Since Joseph's hometown was Bethlehem, that's where they had to go. No doubt Mary was uncomfortable riding a donkey on a long trip when she was so close to having a baby, but the good news is that they made it safely to Bethlehem! Mary and Joseph searched and searched for a room but couldn't find one anywhere! There were so many people in Bethlehem that every inn was full! But one innkeeper had room in his stable. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing. It's a good thing Mary and Joseph stayed in the stable because Jesus was born that night! Mary and Joseph loved him from the moment they saw him. What a special night! The Savior has been born!
Read it in the Bible in: Luke 2:1-7
