The Nativity of Christ is one of the greatest holidays of Christianity and is celebrated annually on December 25. Nine months after the Annunciation, King Augustus ordered a census of the Roman people. So Joseph and the Virgin Mary set out from Nazareth to Bethlehem to be counted. Due to the excessive influx of people, they were forced to spend the night in a poor cave. That night, Jesus Christ was born, spending His first night on earth in a humble manger. Angels praised and glorified the divine coming, shepherds ran to see the newborn baby up close and the three magicians came from the East, to worship the Lord with gifts. The birth and coming of Christ to the world marks the beginning of His life and course on earth.
