The birth of Jesus, detailed in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, describes Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem for a Roman census where Jesus was born in a stable, laid in a manger, as there was no room at the inn. Angels announced the birth to shepherds, who then visited the baby, proclaiming him the Messiah, the Savior of the world. This event, central to Christianity, is celebrated as Christmas, though the exact date is unknown, with December 25th chosen by the Western Church in the 4th century.
