When Jesus was born, some shepherds were keeping watch over their flocks nearby. An angel came to them and brought them the good news about the birth of Jesus. So, the shepherds decided to go to Betlehem, where they found the holy family.
Then they returned to their sheep, praising God for sending his Son to be their Saviour.
Also when Jesus was born, a new, bright star appeared in sky. Some Wise Men in faraway countries saw the star. They were very clever men that studied the stars and had read in very old writings that a new star would appear when a great king was born.
They set out to find the new king and bring him gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Herod, the king of Judea, was very angry as he thought that someone might be going to take his place as king. He had an evil plan in mind to kill the new king. But an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream. The angel told him to take Jesus and Mary and escape to Egypt. This is what Joseph did, and Jesus stayed in Egypt until Herod died.
Then Herod's son became king, and the holy family returned to Nazareth. This is the story that Christians have celebrated through ages.
