The birthplace of Jesus, fulfilling the prophecy of Micah 5:2.
In the days of King Herod, Mary and Joseph traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem for the census. There was no room at the inn, so Jesus was born in a manger. Angels appeared to shepherds in nearby fields, announcing "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men." Wise men from the East later followed a star to worship the newborn King, bringing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
