From the birth of Jesus in a manger to the Star of Bethlehem, the classic details of the Nativity story show up in Christmas pageants and storefront windows everywhere. But how may of those details are rooted in history?

This handy booklet has the story of Jesus’ birth in chronological order. Reading these passages to the family on Christmas brings the meaning of the season as the focal point of the holidays. Following the passages are a list of a few traditions and descriptions of how they became a part of Christmas as we know it today.

The last couple of pages include a questionnaire to test your knowledge and separate biblical Christmas truth from Christmas tradition. We hope you enjoy and learn as much from this booklet as we did researching and assembling the information. Merry Christmas!
