The main part of the Christmas Story, the birth of Jesus! But why was Jesus born in such unusual suroundings?

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Luke 2:1-7

The census that was ordered by Caesar Augustus was the first of its kind. It was done because the Roman government wanted to make sure that everyone in the Empire was paying their taxes correctly. The census was carried out all over Empire (most of Europe): but in Palestine, it was carried out in a Jewish way rather than a Roman way. This meant that families had to register in the their historical tribal town rather than where they lived. This also meant that Joseph and the very pregnant Mary would have had to travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem, as this was town that Joseph's family (the royal family of David) originally came from - a journey of about 70 miles (112 kilometres).

It might have been quite good for the family to go to Bethlehem as no one there knew them, so people would not have talked about the fact that they were not married. It's also possible that Joseph had distant relations in Bethlehem, but they still wouldn't have know Mary and Joseph very closely.

The journey would have taken about three days and they might well have arrived in the evening, because if they had arrived earlier in the day, it is more likely that they would have found somewhere to stay.

In those times, there weren't really such things as motels or inns, you normally would have stayed with some extended family or relations. A more accurate translation of 'inn' would be 'guest room'. You would normally stay with extended family in their ‘guest room’ but as it was a busy time the guest room was already full.

Most houses would have been shared with the animals that the family kept. Houses had two levels, the upper/mezzanine level where people slept and the ground floor where the animals slept at night and the family lived during the day. The animals were a kind of 'central heating' at night keeping the house warm! The 'guest room' was often an area on the upper/mezzanine level or even a hut put on the flat roof of the house!

As many people would have traveled to Bethlehem for the census, all the houses, or certainly upper levels were full. Many people think that Jesus was probably born in September or October during Sukkot, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles, rather than during December. During the festival, Jews live outside in temporary shelters (the word 'tabernacle' come from a latin word meaning 'booth' or 'hut').

So Joseph and Mary probably had to sleep with the animals on the low level (where it’s common to have a manger cut into a wall where you put the animal food) or possibly (but unlikely) out in a stable, cave or even a covered market stall that sold animals (these stalls could be rented during tabernacles).

It was the custom in those times to wrap a new born baby very tightly in long bandages called swaddling clothes. The arms and legs of the baby were also wrapped, so they couldn't move. This was done because they thought it helped the baby to grow strong, straight limbs! And as no proper crib was available, the new baby boy was placed in a manger, or feeding trough.

This must have been an amazing scene, but was exactly how the angels had described things to the shepherds up on the hills surrounding Bethlehem!

The birth of Jesus probably didn't happen in the year 0AD but slightly earlier, in about 5, 6 or 7BC. The dates that we use now were set by Monks and religious leaders in the Middle Ages and before. It's also quite likely that Jesus was actually born in the autumn (during Tabernacles), not in the winter! It can get very cold in the winter in Israel and it is thought that the census would have most likely taken place during the spring or autumn, at a when many pilgrims, from all over the country, came to visit Jerusalem (which is about six miles from Bethlehem). Also during the winter, it's less likely that the shepherds would have been keeping sheep out on the hills (as those hills can get quite a lot of snow during winter sometimes!).
.. Not my fault that they may have changed dates..what matters is that I recognize that my savior was born!..

That's a lot of jesus.

how about we keep this to the wishlist guys? seriously

Jeffvt0508 · Nov 16, 2015

Saint nicholas was Born in Patara, a land that is part of present-day Turkey, circa 280, St.Nicholas was a Christian bishop who helped the needy. After his death, the legend of his gift-giving grew. St.Nicholas transformed into the legendary character called Santa Claus, who brings Christmas presents to children around the world. Funny how even "Santa" was a Christian..

Jeffvt0508 · Nov 16, 2015

I already posted what I wanted.. But I'm not expecting anything .. The gift giving is just fun.. To brighten ones day..

This is true, St. Nicholas, like many figures before him got wrapped up in the lore of a bearded man bringing solstice-time gifts to people, specifically children. Before Sinterklaas, it was the Pagan God Odin, before that... etc ad infinitum

Bennett707 · Nov 16, 2015

just a couple thoughts after receiving some PMs: if you are not ok with receiving BOOZE for a gift, better post that now.
if you have food allergies; post that now.

Rattletrap66 · Nov 16, 2015

No gonna post anything I want this time to make it interesting, all of the stuff I have is in my build thread. As I buy other stuff I will update the parts to be installed list or the mods done list. Oh and shirt size, Large

01tacoprerunner · Nov 16, 2015

I would love some led pods, or a hi lift jack mount that I could attach to my tool box or bed. Shirt size is XL. I could also use a torque wrench. I'll be happy with whatever you get me.
