Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living <strong>hope</strong> through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1:3</p>
<p>In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to their own town to register. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. Luke 2:1-5</p>
