The story of Christmas is found in the New Testament of the Bible, specifically in the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). The story begins with the birth of Jesus Christ, the son of God, who was born to a virgin named Mary in the town of Bethlehem. The birth of Jesus is celebrated as the fulfillment of prophecies made hundreds of years earlier, and is considered to be the central event of Christianity. The Christmas story is celebrated every year on December 25th.
