The Birth of Christ to Fulfill the Prophets

Prophets Foretold of Jesus the Christ
"While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. And the angel said: 'to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah. the Christ.'"
