The story of this holiday is that the Son of God, Jesus Christ, was born in Bethlehem on this day by Mary in a stable as there was no room in the inn. Angels proclaimed the news to shepherds who visited the baby in the stable, and a star guided Three Wise Men to the stable, who delivered gifts of Frankincense, Myrrh and Gold.
