An
old story behind celebrating christmas
- Once God sent an angel named Grabiel to a young woman named Mary. Grabiel, the messenger of God, went to Mary and said that she had to give birth to a son of God. Mary was shocked to hear this because she was still a virgin, so she asked Grabial how it would be possible. So Grabiel said that God will do everything right.
- Time passed and Mary was married to a young man named Joseph. The angel of God Grabiel came to Joseph's dream and told him that soon Mary would be pregnant and he would have to take special care of her because none of his future children are Lord Jesus himself. At that time Joseph and Mary Nazrath lived in what is currently a part of Israel. At that time Nazrath was a part of the Roman Empire. Once, for some reason Joseph and Mary went to work in Bethlehem, which is now in Palestine, there were many people in those days, due to which all the hospices and refugees were full so that Joseph and Mary did not find refuge for themselves.
- After much exhaustion, both of them found a place in a stables and at the same place after midnight Lord Jesus was born. A few shepherds were grazing their sheep near the stables, where the messengers of God appeared and informed the shepherds about the birth of the Lord Jesus. The shepherd went to the newborn and bowed to him.
- When Jesus grew up, he roamed all over Galilee and preached and tried to remove all the diseases and weaknesses of the people. Gradually, his fame spread all around. There were also some enemies of Jesus' goodwill actions who eventually tortured Jesus and killed him by hanging him on the cross. But Jesus continued in the direction of human welfare throughout his life, not only when he was being hanged on the cross, he still said, 'Father, forgive these people because these people are ignorant.' Since then, Christians have celebrated Christmas on 25 December, the birthday of Jesus.
