We learn of the betrothal between Joseph of Nazareth and Mary, then how she witnesses the visitation of an angel telling her how special her baby, Jesus, shall be. We learn of Joseph having dreams of what he and his wife are to do, and how the events taking place are the fulfilment of Old Testament prophecy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe continuous sequence then presents us with the meeting between Mary and her cousin Elizabeth (now also expecting) who realizes that Mary's baby will be important to the whole world. We read how Zechariah is affected by the birth of his own son, John - naming him thus in spite of no ancestors bearing that name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn what is perhaps the most familiar sequence of events in the 'Nativity', we read how Joseph and Mary attend a Roman census in Bethlehem, resulting in Mary's son Jesus being born there, how shepherds pay homage to the infant Jesus and how three Magi from the Orient seek to meet him and pay tribute. We read of King Herod, who seeks only to destroy Jesus, and massacres all new-born boys in Bethlehem to try and do that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, we read of how baby Jesus is cleansed and blessed in Jerusalem, along with his parents. We meet Simeon, an ageing priest, who was told he would see the future salvation of his nation before he died, and a prophetess, named Anna, who meets Jesus and predicts great things of him. The manner in which Joseph and Mary flee with Jesus to Egypt is then related, plus their return to Nazareth as a family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the 22 Chapters on the Birth of Jesus, a sequence of 4 chapters under the heading 'The Anointed One' is presented.
