Features: Jesus is one of the most loving and great sages in human history. Throughout his life, Jesus continuously taught people what love is and the true meaning of life. The religion he founded has been passed down for nearly two thousand years, with followers all over the world.
According to historical records, Jesus may have only lived to be thirty-three years old, but his life has had a profound impact on the development of human history. In the era when Jesus lived, most knowledge was passed down orally. Everything was spoken aloud, and those listening carefully memorized it before passing it on to the next generation. As a result, many stories about Jesus are filled with mystery and miracles. The smartest way to approach these miraculous legends is not to worry about whether they are true or false, but to understand the truth behind the stories.
In 4 BC, in what is now Israel, there was a place called Nazareth where a carpenter named Joseph and his wife Mary lived. It is said that before Mary married Joseph, an angel told her that she would become pregnant and give birth to a son who would guide people away from the path of sin.
On the night of December 24th, Joseph took Mary, who was about to give birth, to Bethlehem. All the inns in the city were full, and there were no empty rooms. A kind person led them to an old stable and made a bed for Mary in the corner.
Jesus was born in the stable.
Soon after, a merchant caravan from Persia arrived. The three leaders, wearing colorful headscarves and dressed in luxurious robes, carried shiny jars in their hands. They heard the shepherds say that a particularly bright star had appeared over Bethlehem. Later, they found the baby born in the stable.
They were very happy and gave Mary some beautiful silk and precious spices as gifts.
This news spread quickly and reached the ears of King Herod, who ruled the Jews at the time.
