A religious text recounts the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem under Caesar Augustus. Mary and Joseph travel from Nazareth, Jesus is laid in a manger, angels announce the savior, and shepherds visit, glorifying God.
The Citizen presents a Christmas section with letters to Santa from children and poems by the children. It centers on the traditional birth of Jesus as told in the Book of Luke, framed as a seasonal feature.
A discussion traces the origins of the first manger scene from ancient Christian art and catacomb friezes in Rome dated to the fifth century. It notes small early figures of a shepherd and Mary and Joseph as possible surviving fragments from ancient creches.
