He was born, a long long time ago–nearly Two Thousand years
ago–at a place called Bethlehem. His father and mother lived in a city
called Nazareth, but they were forced, by business to travel to
Bethlehem. His father’s name was Joseph, and his mother’s
in any house; so they went into a Stable to lodge, and in this stable
there, so Mary laid her pretty little boy in what is called the Manger,
which is the place the horses eat out of. And there he fell asleep.

While he was asleep, some Shepherds who were watching Sheep in the
Fields, saw an Angel from God, all light and beautiful, come moving over
the grass towards Them. At first they were afraid and fell down and hid
their faces. But it said “There is a child born to-day in the City
love him as his own son; and he will teach men to love one another, and
not to quarrel and hurt one another; and his name will be Jesus Christ;
God loves it, and will know that they should love it too.” And

who will live to be a man whom all people will love.” When King
pretended not to be, and said to the wise men, “Whereabouts is this
child?” And the wise men said “We don’t know. But we
think the Star will shew us; for the Star has been moving on before us,
all the way here.” Then Herod ordered them, if they found the
child, to come back to him. So they went out, and the Star went on
wonderful, but God ordered it to be so.

The wise men went in, and saw the child with Mary his Mother. They
loved him very much, and gave him some presents. Then they went away.
though he had not said so. And an Angel came, and told Joseph and Mary
to take the child into a Country called Egypt, or Herod would kill him.
So they escaped too, in the night.

told them to go and Kill all the children in his dominions that were not
more than two years old. The soldiers with their swords killed all the
children they could find. This murder was called the Murder of the
Innocents. Because the little children were so innocent.

not, as you know, for He had escaped safely into Egypt. And he lived
there, with his father and mother, until Bad King Herod died.
