Subject

"So Joseph also went up from the town of
Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem,
the town of David, because he belonged to
the house and line of David. He went there to
register with Mary, who was pledged to be
married to him and was expecting a child.
While they were there, the time came for the
baby to be born, and she gave birth to her
firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths
and placed him in a manger, because there
was no room for them in the inn." (Luke 2: 4-
7).
