The account includes Mary's visit with Elizabeth, Joseph's coming to accept Mary's unexpected pregnancy, Mary & Joseph's trip to Bethlehem, the birth of Jesus, and the shepherds' role in the event. The story ends with the the wise men who saw the star, traveled from a distant county, inquired about the baby king in Jerusalem, then followed the star to Bethlehem where it led them to the house where Jesus lived a few months after his birth.
