The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a Virgin whose name was Mary, and he said to her: "Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son and you shall name him Jesus.”
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. She then cried out in a loud voice and said: "Most blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb”. (Cf. Lk 1, 41-42)
While Joseph and Mary were in Bethlehem, the time came for her to have her child and she gave birth to her first-born son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. (Cf. Lk 2, 6-7)
Joseph and Mary came to the Temple and brought in Jesus. Simeon took him in his arms and blessed God saying: “Now Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, my eyes have seen your Salvation ”. (Cf. Lk 2, 27-31)
Every year Joseph and Mary used to go to Jerusalem for the Passover. When Jesus was twelve years old, they went there as usual. Without his parents knowing it, Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. (Cf. Lk 2, 41-46)
