The Gospels of Matthew and Luke contain stories of the birth of Jesus.
In Matthew, the hometown of Mary and Joseph was Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. Magi came from the east to worship him, alerting King Herod to a possible threat to his rule. Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt to escape the threat from Herod, only returning after his death, but Joseph was told in a dream to turn aside and travel to Galilee, where Jesus grew up in the town of Nazareth.
In Luke, the hometown of Mary and Joseph was Nazareth in Galilee, but they were required by a census to travel to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born in a manger. Poor shepherds came to worship him. A few weeks later, Mary and Joseph travelled to Jerusalem and then returned peacefully to Nazareth, where Jesus grew up.
The two major event which demonstrates Christianity was the birth of Jesus Christ. It was after Jesus departure that the name Christianity came about, meaning behaving like Christ. Also the anointing of the Disciples to Continue the work of spreading the gospel.

A:There are two different stories of the birth of Jesus - one in Matthew's Gospel and one in Luke's Gospel. The irreconcilable differences in the two biblical accounts prompted Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) to say that inspiration does not guarantee historicity or reconcilability -otherwise God should have inspired the two evangelists to give us the same record.
since the birth of Christ there has been two mlineum's
It is the major prophet Isaiah , one the birth of jesus christ and two second death of Jesus Christ.
There are two accounts of Jesus' birth - both, of course, in the New Testament although there are many prophecies in the Old Testament which foretold his birth.The two accounts are inMatthew's Gospel Chapter 1 verse 18 through to the end of Chapter 2 which tells of the Wise men from the east, the slaughter of the innocent children and the flight to Egypt.Luke's Gospel Chapters 1 and 2, which tells first of John the Baptist's birth and the events leading up to Mary's pregnancy and Jesus' birth finishing with prophecies from Anna and Simeon about the nature of Jesus.Both birth stories are different but were written for different audiences and from different points of view. However, putting them together gives us a much fuller picture of the events surrounding Jesus' birth and so that is how they are meant to be read.
Since Matthew's Gospel was written up to twenty years before Luke's Gospel, Matthew's account would have been first. However, we know that the author of Luke's Gospel knew nothing of Matthew's Gospel, and so could not harmonise his account with that of Matthew. This is why the two accounts are so completely different.
The books of Matthew and Luke have accounts of the birth of Jesus while Mark and John begin with an adult Jesus. Both accounts can be found in the first chapters of these two books.
The bible is divided into two parts the old and the new testament. The old testament is before the birth of Christ and the New Testament is after Christ was born.
The two sacred holidays in Christianity are Easter and Christmas day. Easter celebrates the raising of Jesus Christ from the dead and Christmas day celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ
It stands for Before Christ. The initials BC and AD (Anno Domini) were created after the 525 Easter as a way to divide dates as occurring before or after Christ's birth. Anno Domini Nostri Iesu (Jesu) Christi literally means 'in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ. AD refers to any year after or including the birth of Christ (They were off by a few years in their calculations). The first year AD is 1 AD, intended to be the year of Christ's birth. Preceding 1 AD is the year 1 BC. There was no 12 month period designated Year Zero.
The birth and death/resurrection of Christ are the main holidays for Christians - Christmas and Easter.
