The Birth of the King Baby Jesus

At the time of the emperor of Rome Caesar Augustus, known as Gaius Octavius Caesar Augustus, wishing to know how many people lived in Israel and villages, he ordered the king of Jerusalem, Herod, to carry out a census in all places, provinces and villages, as well as the tribes. . Alerting people to return to their tribes and pay tribute and census. Joseph was from the tribe of David and his tribal residence was the city of Bethlehem, where his family lived.

And under the conditions imposed by King Herod in Jerusalem, Joseph had to do the census in the city of Bethlehem, during this period Joseph speaks to Mary, the following:

-Maria, the day is coming to give birth to this child. It's good that you are at my family's house, and on this occasion, I take the census. Belém is a small town, so you'll get to know everyone.

- Yes husband. I'm ready to travel with you. It is a pleasure to meet your family in Bethlehem.

After arranging the luggage for the trip, they left for the city of Belém. Upon arriving in the city, Joseph went to his family's house. As Joseph belonged to the tribe of David, he introduced his pregnant wife to the relatives. Moment, when José observed that the house was full of relatives and there was no good place to stay. At that moment, José and Maria left to rent a house, however, there were no accommodations for the couple. At one point, Maria tells her husband José that she was feeling pain, and José comforted her by claiming to find a home. Even so, José does not give up looking for a house, and it was after 10 pm.

Near the houses, José knocks on the door, asking the following:

-I want to rent a house? Can you rent me?

The Lord replies:

-I regret not being able to rent a house or a room. All are busy. But I have a room in the stables where the animals are kept. See if it meets your needs?

José and Maria go to the scene, and suddenly, the pain is still stronger.

-Maria, wait for me while I tell the owner that I'm staying.

Maria with a simple look, says:

Yes husband. I wait here.

It didn't take long, Maria felt pain and cried. Joseph came running and gave birth to the baby Jesus, taking the child out with a cloth and cleaning it. For the first time, Joseph held the crying boy. He looked around and found nothing that he could welcome and the only solution was to line and put the baby Jesus in the stable. The animals, present there, witnessed everything. A radiant light was born outside. Maria asked her husband.

-Husband, did you buy any lights? And that bright light inside?

Joseph replied:

-It's the light of a star out there, pointing its light into the footbridge. Don't worry. Have some water! And sleep. I watch him and you until morning.

She replies:

-My son was born and I have nothing to give him.

Jose says:

-Sleep Maria, the day is coming. All you have is love and understanding.

At dawn the light of the star disappeared, and Mary gave pure milk to the boy king. José went to the house and told the lady to have meals until the day of the census or while the three of them were there.

That same day, the most beautiful light in the world was seen by the wise men from the East. Melchior of the city of Ur, land of the Chaldeans said:

-My God! That light in the sky is a Star. It is the light of the savior of the born world. I have to adore this King boy with a gift of gold.

The Mago Gaspar was in the mountains of the Caspian Sea, distant region, said:

-That non-stop shining star announces that the King has arrived as a boy. I've never seen this before. I will take myrrh and present it to you.

In the Persian Gulf, there was a magician called Baltazar, the Moor, when he saw the star of Bethlehem, said:

-I can not believe. This star follows me, someone very important was born. I will worship with Incense. I'll get ready now and leave.

At one point on the road to Jerusalem, the three Wise Men meet and take the opportunity to go to King Herod and ask for help.

- Your Majesty Herod, we are coming from distant lands. We would like you to tell us where the boy King was born? We want to worship them.

Herod answers.

-You come from afar. Won't you stay a few more days in my reign?

The wizards replied:

-Not. Thanks

Herod said:

-I am not aware of any birth in my kingdom. If you find. Please tell me where this boy King was born. I also want to worship you. I wait for you back here.

The Magi Kings left, and suddenly Baltazar says:

-See Melquior and Gaspar, the star has appeared again. The glare is stronger, we follow where it leads us.

Upon arriving in the city of Bethlehem, the magicians followed the light of the star, leading to the stable where the baby Jesus was.

Upon seeing the baby Jesus, the Wise Men offered their gifts of Myrrh, Gold and Incense and worshiped, saying:

-Behold the savior of the world, the king of all kings.

As they leave the enclosure, Baltazar says the following to the others:

-I had a dream and that we should not return to King Herod, we will follow another path. He doesn't want to worship but kill the innocent.

The next day, Joseph takes the census and pays the tributes and hears several comments from King Herod.

Next to Mary and Jesus, Joseph rests and sleeps, when he wakes up he says to Mary.

-Maria, Maria, Maria an angel told me to go to Egypt now. Because Herod wants to kill our son.

-Let's go! In the nearest village I buy a colt.

- Come on husband. More because he wants to do this to our son.

Pure evil.

That same day, soldiers entered houses, ripping children up to two years old from their mothers' arms and killing them with a bloody sword. It is said that more than 300 children were killed.

Crossing the sandy deserts on a donkey, Joseph, Mary and Jesus, an angel tells Joseph in dreams.

-José, I'll let you know when you should come home.

Yes, that's exactly how the baby Jesus was born in a stable in Bethlehem, assisted by the animals that guard the place. With nothing, poor and devoid of any newborn clothes, only a bright Star in the sky with focusing rays indicated that in that place the greatest man on earth, the savior of the world, Jesus, had been born.

The little child still crying in the stable, the animals with wide eyes, saw the light of the Star of Bethlehem light up inside the stable as if it were a lamp or sunlight.

Jesus was born at 24:00 hours and minutes of that blessed day in the Roman province of Judea and showed the world his wisdom. With his arrival on earth, he won 03 gifts from the Magi when he was born. That's why it's Christmas, a celebration of the birth of the baby Jesus to the world, bringing peace, union, health and joy.
