After Mary and Joseph had come to Bethlehem, Mary gave birth to her baby in a humble manger of straw in a barn with the animals. This place was all that they had been able to achieve during their stay in Bethlehem. There were people who possessed material wealth. But they had the enormous responsibility and the honor of raising and educating the children of God.
Heat of Mary, a poor and humble cot blankets made of straw to keep warm. At the same moment, very nearby, a group of pastors descanzando with their flocks of sheep. The shepherds in the starry nights were often grouped among themselves to discuss and protect each other from wolves and thieves lurking in the area. When we all gathered
they suddenly saw a bright light caught them, they were very afraid. The light the dazzled was an angel came to them and told them not to fear and told them that the Messiah was born. He also explained how to get the stable where Jesus was and how they find the little boy.
Thousands of heavenly angels in heaven singing "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill toward men." Thus the shepherds came and found stable with Mary, Joseph and a very special baby wrapped in blankets on a simple cot made of straw, as he had described was the angel. The shepherds knelt and worshiped the child, told Mary and Joseph what had happened that night, and the angel's announcement. Mary heard these words carefully, while strong in thinking that God was directing everything. She knew where her son and while he was in a lowly manger God was with them.
In this way, Jesus, the deliverer that the people of Israel had waited for so long, was born in a stable, far from the glow of the great palaces and the festivities that usually surround the birth of a king.
