The Christmas story is told in the Bible in the book of Luke. The story is set in the town of Bethlehem, and tells of the birth of Jesus Christ, the son of God. The story describes how Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem to register for the census, and how Mary gave birth to Jesus in a stable. It also tells of the arrival of the Three Wise Men, who followed a star to Bethlehem and brought gifts for the baby Jesus. The Christmas story is a central part of the Christian faith and is celebrated annually on December 25th.
