The legend of Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus. Before the birth of Jesus, the Virgin Mary was pregnant by the Holy Spirit. God sent messengers to tell Joseph in his dream that he would marry Mary and name their children Jesus. Jesus meant to save the people from their sins.
When Maria was about to give birth, the government issued a decree that all people in Bethlehem had to declare their residence registration, but it was already dusk when Joseph and Maria arrived. Because the hotels were full and could not accommodate them, they lived in a barn.
Soon after, Maria gave birth to Jesus in a humble manger. In memory of Jesus, later generations designated December 25 as Christmas.
