God also sent the angel Gabriel to tell Joseph in a dream that he should not abandon Mary because she was pregnant out of wedlock, but should marry her and name the child "Jesus", meaning that he would save the people from sin.

Joseph and Mary had no choice but to obey. When they arrived in Bethlehem, it was already dark. Unfortunately, the two of them could not find a hotel to stay in, so there was only a stable where they could stay temporarily. At this time, Jesus was about to be born. So Mary gave birth to Jesus in a manger.
《3》To commemorate this day<br /> To commemorate the birth of Jesus, later generations designated December 25 as Christmas, and attended mass every year to commemorate the birth of Jesus.
