Luke began his story with angels appearing to Zacharias and then Mary, telling them of the birth of their son, Mary would conceive by the Holy Spirit and bear Jesus, the son of God. To help fulfill God’s promises concerning His birth place, Caesar Augustus declared a census which made Mary and Joseph to travel to Bethlehem where the child Jesus   was born.
