Have you ever wondered what it must have felt like to be in Bethlehem during the events that led up to Jesus' birth?  Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world and everyone went to his home town to  register.  Joseph went to Bethlehem to register with Mary, who was pledged to be   married to him and was expecting a  child.  While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son, and she gave him the name "Jesus".
