The story in Luke 2 about Mary and Joseph is a key part of the Christmas narrative. Mary, being with child by the Holy Spirit, and Joseph, her betrothed, made their way to Bethlehem. Due to the census, the town was crowded. With no place in the inn, they took shelter in a stable. That night, Jesus was born. Angels appeared to shepherds, proclaiming the good news. The shepherds, filled with awe, hurried to the stable. This story not only shows the simplicity of Jesus' birth but also how the news spread among the common people, which is a significant aspect of the Christmas celebration.
