Abstract
Abstract Christians commemorate and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ that occurred in Bethlehem about 5 or 6 bc . According to the Gospel of Luke, he was born of the Virgin Mary, who became pregnant not by having sexual relations with her betrothed husband Joseph but by the Holy Spirit. Jesus' birth and its miraculous manner were predicted in the Old Testament. The Prophet Isaiahwrote, “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel”(Isa. 7:14). In the New Testament, Matthew, a disciple of Jesus, corroborated Isaiah's prophecy by quoting its exact words (Matt. 1:22–23). The purpose of Jesus' birth is also stated in the Bible. The Gospel of John, for instance, states, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
