The Nativity

 So, Olivia set up a nativity scene in the front room and had a spot light and told us each the story and pointed us to certain characters or items as she told us.  We could only come one at a time.  She had so much fun that I wanted to record it and keep it forever. 

This is the story of Jesus Christ.  He was born on Dec. 25th and that is the day of Christmas.  Most people think Christmas is about toys, presents and stockings. But what it's really about is Christ's birth. His parents were Mary and Joseph.   The reason that Heavenly Father chose Mary  is because that Mary was very thoughtful kind and was very giving and she had faith and was a member of the church and the same for Joseph.



Mary had to walk  133 miles and it took ten days.  But on the way she rode a donkey and that helped her. 


There was no room at the inn so Joseph found close by a stable and Jesus was born in the stable and laid in a manger.  And so Jesus was born in  Bethlehem.   



There was a angel that said to the shepherds that they had to go and find the baby Jesus, but they were surprised and the angel said go to  to a new born son, Jesus Christ and Mary and Joseph.  When he was born there was a new star in the sky and the three wise men followed it to Jesus.








 And they found Mary and Joseph and gave them gold, frankincense and muir.










The reason they named him Jesus is because they had a good feeling about him.  That is the story.  And when he was older he became Jesus Christ and he was kind, giving and thoughtful.  And so he sacrificed himself in Gethsemane for all the sins we had.  It hurt so bad to him.  Another time he went on the cross for us and they put nails in his hands and he got resurrected and the people didn't believe it was him and it actually was.
