Christmas, a traditionally Christian holiday celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Though December 25th may or may not be the exact day of the saviors birth, it is a day where all Christian thought and prayer can converge upon the glory of Christs entrance into this world. The story of this immaculate birth is eloquently recounted in the gospel of Luke. According to Luke, Joseph and Mary, the Blessed Mother, were traveling to be taxed by their Roman rulers. It was during this journey that Christ was born. He was birthed in a stable, because the neighboring inn was full, swaddled and tucked into a manger. The angel of the Lord then came forth proclaiming this to be a joyous holy day, for Christ the Savior had entered our world.
