The way years are kept now are how many years after Jesus. This year is 2009 A.D. 2009 years after the birth of Christ. So the date we give him is 0. So in 1 A.D. He was 1 year old. In the old times before Jesus,say the year, for example is 709 B.C., it goes backwards. That would be 709 years before the birth of Jesus. Back then of course they didnt know Jesus was coming so they accounted the years in the current king's reighn. Say the third year of the reign of King David. Jesus was crucified in 33 A.D., but He was born in the year 0.
Jesus was born around 6 BC. The Bible gives no indication that anything other than a normal gestation of 9 months occurred. Since Jesus was born in the northern hemisphere autumn (while shepherds were still outdoors with their flocks) it has been suggested that the conception occurred sometime around when we currently celebrate Christmas.
Mary conceived of Jesus at the Annunciation which is celebrated on the 25th of March, nine months before the birth of Christ and six months after the conception of John the Baptist by Elizabeth.
Mary is the mother of Jesus, Elizabeth is the mother of John the Baptist.
According to Christian belief, Mary conceived Jesus through the Holy Spirit, not through intercourse with Joseph. This event is known as the Virgin Birth.
Some special times in Mary's life include her Annunciation, when she was told by the angel Gabriel that she would conceive Jesus; the Nativity, when Jesus was born; the Presentation of Jesus at the temple; the Wedding at Cana, where she asked Jesus to perform his first miracle; and her presence at the foot of the cross during Jesus' crucifixion.
Mary is a central figure in the Christmas story as she is the mother of Jesus. According to Christian tradition, she was visited by an angel who told her she would conceive Jesus by the Holy Spirit. Mary's faith and obedience to God's plan make her a symbol of humility and devotion in the story of Jesus' birth.
After Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, the shepherds were the first to visit him, according to the New Testament. The angels announced the birth to the shepherds, who then went to see Jesus in the manger.
The Annunciation mysteries refer to the event in Christian belief when the archangel Gabriel announced to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive and give birth to Jesus. These are part of the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary and are focused on reflecting on the incarnation of Jesus.
Mary was Jesus' mother.
That's why it was called a "miracle".
God was not married to Mary, the conception of Jesus Christ was not like it is for us humans, no physical contact ensued. It was an act of the Holy Spirit and happened supernaturally. For GOD nothing is impossible!
Mary is the mother of Jesus
Joeseph Answer. Joseph would have been the obvious choice as there are few who believe in the miraculous birth of Jesus. If one does then the father of Jesus would have had to have been God. It is not beyond the capability of God to plant a seed into Mary so that she would conceive. How this was done is beyond our comprehension.
The young Jewish girl Mary, betrothed to Joseph, when told she would please God to conceive the child named Jesus who would be called the Son of God, replied, "Let it be done unto me according to your word." MARY!!
