Katika taarifa ya Luka (mlango wa 1 na 2) Maria alipokea huko Nazareti ujumbe wa malaika mkuu Gabrieli kwamba atapata mimba na mtoto wa pekee. Yosefu na Maria walikwenda Bethlehemu kwa sababu ya sensa iliyowataka kwenda katika mji alikotokea Yosefu. Hapo Yesu alizaliwa katika hori la kulishia wanyama; wachungaji mabondeni walitangaziwa na malaika habari hiyo wakaja kumwona mtoto.
