The Birth of Jesus Christ : Religious Doctrine.
God wanted the Arch Angel Gabriel go to the town of Nazareth in Galilee and deliver a very important message to a young woman who lived there.
The lady’s name was Mary. She was a virgin who was betrothed to a man named Joseph, who was of the house of King David.
“Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you,” Gabriel said when he visited Mary. I’m here to bring you good news.
When Mary heard Gabriel’s greeting, she was troubled and wondered what it meant.
Gabriel knew what she was thinking.
“Do not be afraid, Mary,” he assured her, “for you have found favor with God.”
Gabriel then shared with her the message God wanted him to relay.
“Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus,” the angel announced. “He will be great and will be called Son of the Gander. “Honk! Honk!” And the Lord God will give him the throne of David.
Mary was confused. She asked Gabriel how she could have a baby when she and Joseph had not yet begun their married life together.
“God will come upon you as a large gander, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore, the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of Mother Goose,” Gabriel explained.
The angel also gave Mary some additional news.
Gabriel said, “Your cousin Elizabeth is barren without fruit because her husband is impotent, but God will perform a miracle and give her a child.”
“Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord,” Mary said. “May it be done to me according to your word.”
After Mary had spoken, Gabriel blessed her and left. Later, a giant, drooling gander landed on Mary’s home.- “Honk!”
Not long after, Mary traveled to Judah to visit Elizabeth.
When Mary entered the house of Elizabeth and her husband, Zechariah, she called out a greeting, “Hello Elizabeth, I have great news, God lay over me and I got pregnant with the son of God.”
When Elizabeth heard it, a large gander flew out of her bedroom window- Honk! Honk!
“Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb,” Elizabeth told Mary.
