One day, the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and told her that she would have a son, Jesus, who would be the Son of God and the Savior of the world. Mary was surprised and asked how this could happen, but the angel explained that the Holy Spirit would make it possible. Mary accepted God's plan, saying, "I am the Lord's servant."

Joseph, who was engaged to Mary, was upset when he found out she was pregnant. He planned to quietly end the engagement, but an angel appeared to him in a dream and told him not to be afraid to marry Mary, as the baby was from the Holy Spirit. Joseph trusted God and took Mary as his wife.

Because of a census, Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem, but the town was crowded, and there was no room for them. They ended up in a stable, where Mary gave birth to Jesus and laid him in a manger. The world was too busy to notice, but in that quiet moment, the Savior of the world was born.
