Joseph and Mary settled down and there among the animals, Jesus was born.

They wrapped the baby up in warm clothes and laid him in the manger filled with straw.

Meanwhile, on the hills outside of Bethlehem, some shepherds who were watching over their sheep noticed a bright light in the sky.

They had never seen anything like it before, and they were afraid.
