    us. The story of his birth.

    Narrator 10 (CHARLOTTE, 8th): The story begins with a young woman in


    her home. (Mary enters.) Her name is Mary. She was from a town called

    angel down from heaven with a message for her. (Angel enters.)

    Narrator 11 (JACKSON, 8th): But Mary found it difficult to understand why


    the angel came to see her. She was just an ordinary woman. She was
    worried what the angel meant by her greeting. Seeing that Mary was
    scared, the angel said

    Angel 1 (Owen, 3rd): Dont be afraid, Mary. God is very pleased with you.
    You will give birth to a son, and you will call him Jesus. He will be called
    the Son of the Most High.

    Mary: I dont understand. I am not yet married. How can I have a son?

    Angel 1: The power of the Holy Spirit will give you a baby. People will call
    him the son of God.

    Mary: I am a servant of God. I will do whatever he asks. I believe it will


    happen as you say. I will be the mother of Jesus.

    people in this kingdom return to their birthplace to register for the
    census. It is quite far away. We must begin the journey at once.

    are full with guests from across the country.

    Innkeeper 8 (CARSTON, Kinder): But, we can offer our stable out front,
    where all the animals are kept!

    Joseph: Thank you so much! Well take it.

    Mary: Thank you. We are most grateful. At last we have a place to stay.

    Narrator 16 (NICHOLAS, 7th): So, Mary and Joseph went to stay in the
