The third rose is very important. It is where a new character in the garden comes up. His name is Jesus, and He is a newborn baby. His mother, Mary, gave birth to Jesus in a stable, because there was no room for them in any hotels. Let's look closer in this story.A man named Caesar said that he wanted everyone to go to where they were born. Mary and Joseph went to their hometown. But when they got to the town, all the hotels were full of people. A man who ran a hotel said that he had no rooms, but he had a stable in the back they could use. It was there that Jesus was born. Mary wrapped Him in pieces of cloth and laid Him in a manger.
A bunch of visitors came to see the baby Jesus. Angels sang above the stable. In a field, some shepherds and their sheep were sleeping and some angels came and sang songs.
"DO NOT BE AFRAID! GO TO THE STABLE BEHIND THE INN (hotel) AND YOU WILL SEE A BABY. HE IS THE KING!"
The angels then disappeared and the shepherds ran to the stable.
Meanwhile, three wise men had seen a bright star, and they followed it to Jerusalem, sure that the baby was there. They went to the palace. King Herod was angered that another king existed. He was worried that the baby would one day take over his palace. So he told the three wise men to come back and tell him where the baby was so that "he could honor Him." But King Herod really wanted to kill Jesus.
The three wise men traveled to Bethlehem and gave Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. They were going to go to King Herod, but an angel warned them in a dream not to go there. They took another way home.
King Herod was so angry that he killed all the babies that were very young. But Joseph and Mary and their new baby escaped because in a dream, an angel told Joseph to go to Egypt immediately. So Mary, Joseph and Jesus left that night.
The first saints were the Holy Innocents, who were the babies who died in place of Jesus.
The next rose is a special one! I hope you read more! Bye!
