Christmas Story

Stories of Christmas date back to over 4000 years. There’s one such story of Mary and Joseph. Mary was a young girl from Nazareth, Israel, who was to be married to a Jewish carpenter named Joseph.

So by a miracle, while Mary was yet to be married to Joseph, she miraculously got pregnant with the Son of God through the Holy Spirit. However, when Joseph came to know about this he became angry and upset. He thought Mary wasn’t speaking the truth about the incident. However an Angel visited Joseph in his dreams and verified that whatever she was telling was the truth. Hence, Joseph agreed to take Mary as his wife, despite a possible public disgrace.
Message Behind the Christmas Festival
