What Came Before Joseph and Mary came to Bethlehem and found the city full of people who, like themselves, had come to have their names enrolled or written upon the tax list. All the inns were full, and there was no room for them. With no place to sleep, they went to a stable, where the cattle were kept.

While they looked with wonder, and listened the angels went out of sight as suddenly as they had come. Then the shepherds said, one to another, "Let us go at once to Bethlehem, and see this wonderful thing that has come to pass, and which the Lord has made known to us."
Then as quickly as they could go to Bethlehem, they went, and found Joseph, the carpenter of Nazareth, and his young wife Mary, and the little baby lying in the manger.
