Beginning last Wednesday and continuing up to Christmas, we have been hearing the many different Gospel stories that lead us to the birth of Jesus. We began with the genealogy of Jesus from Matthew and Joseph's dream to honor Mary as his wife. We heard the episode of the Angel Gabriel’s visit to Mary and her subsequent visit to Elizabeth, and we have heard the stories concerning Zechariah in the temple and the nativity of John the Baptist. All of these stories culminate with Christmas when we celebrate the Savior’s birth.
