Commemorating Jesus birth

Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus to the Virgin Mary as a fulfillment of the Old Testament Messianic prophecy.The Bible contains two accounts which describe the events surrounding Jesus birth.Depending on one perspective, these accounts either differ from each other or tell two versions of the same story.These biblical accounts are found in the Gospel of Matthew, namely Matthew 1 18, and the Gospel of Luke, specifically Luke 1 26 and 2 40.According to these accounts, Jesus was born to Mary, assisted by her husband Joseph, in the city of Bethlehem.
