The Birth of Jesus is celebrated by Christians as the moment when Jesus Christ, the central figure of Christianity, was born. According to the Bible, specifically the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, this event took place in Bethlehem. Mary, a young woman engaged to Joseph, gave birth to Jesus in a stable because there was no room at the inn. Angels announced the birth to shepherds in the fields, guiding them to visit the newborn. The event is often marked by the Nativity scene, which depicts Mary, Joseph, and Jesus, along with animals and visitors, symbolizing peace and hope for humanity.
