The Nativity Story
Some of the Nativity's Historical Details You Can Share
The first doll features Mary, Joseph and Jesus
When the Roman Emperor Augustus ordered a census of the "entire world", all people were required to return to homelands to be counted for taxation purposes. The census took a lot of time, effort and planning. Joseph and Mary (and Jesus) were of the lineage of King David. King David’s ancestral homeland was Bethlehem.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea
When the census was underway, during the time of King Herod, Mary and Joseph traveled nearly 90 miles from their home in Nazareth in the North down to Bethlehem (about 6 miles from Jerusalem). As a result of the census, the town was crowded – Mary and Joseph stayed in a stable (likely in the bottom floor of someone’s home). Jesus was born and placed in swaddling clothing and then in a manger. Shepherds and others visited the family there. The humble shepherds were the first to hear about Jesus and visit Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
After the birth of Jesus, Mary and Joseph fulfilled all the Jewish requirements – they had Jesus circumcised; and after the purification time (40 days), Joseph, Mary and Jesus traveled to Jerusalem (about 6 miles) so that Joseph and Mary could present Jesus in the Jewish temple. According to Scriptures, directly after the Presentation, when Jesus Mary and Joseph fulfill all the Law required, they return to Galilee and their own home town of Nazareth. According to history and scriptures, they do not return to Bethlehem.
The Magi (Wise Men from the East)
The Second nesting doll features 3 Magi (wise men from the East)
Melchior hailed from Persia
Gaspar (also called "Caspar" or "Jaspar") from India
Balthazar from Arabia
The wise men likely traveled between 900 – 1100 miles to Jerusalem! Some Eastern Christian and Syriac churches identify the number of Magi as 12. We do not know for sure. It is likely that the wise men arrived in a large caravan, with extra camels, food, water, tents, supplies, servants and security.
AFTER Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the East came seeking Jesus. The Magi arrived first to Jerusalem to meet King Herod and ask about Jesus. After the Magi had heard the king (Herod), they went on their way (seeking Jesus), and the Star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.
On coming to the HOUSE, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, the Magi returned to their country by another route. This infuriated King Herod.
Finally, at night, an angle appeared and warned Joseph about King Herod’s anger and instructed Joseph to take Mary and Jesus and flee to Egypt. Joseph immediately obeyed. Jesus, Mary and Joseph fled into Egypt the same night the angle warned Joseph. After Herod’s death, the angle again spoke to Joseph in Egypt instructing him to return home with Mary and Jesus. Jesus, Mary and Joseph then returned to Nazareth. Thus, Jesus was known as a Nazarene.
