The Nativity of Jesus, or simply
The Nativity, refers to the accounts of the
birth
of
Jesus of Nazareth
in the
Gospels
and in various
apocryphal
texts.
The
New Testament
provides two accounts of the birth of Jesus: one in the
Gospel of Matthew
and the other in the
Gospel of Luke
, while other early nativity accounts, namely
Justin Martyr
's and that of the
Protoevangelium of James
, appear to harmonize them. The birth narratives of Matthew and Luke have some elements in common. They both relate that Jesus of Nazareth was the child of
Mary
, who was betrothed to
Joseph
, a descendant of the Biblical
King David
. The narratives also present the conception, preceded by an angelic
annunciation
, not as the result of marital relations, but of the power of the
Holy Spirit
(
Virgin birth of Jesus
). Meanwhile, the
Gospel of John
is silent on the nativity, as is the
Gospel of Mark
, which most
textual critics
consider the
earliest
of the
canonical
gospels
. Some scholars see the Gospel accounts of the nativity as different, conflicting narratives while others defend the historicity of the birth narratives, noting the distinct perspectives of the Evangelists.
The remembrance and re-enactment of the Nativity in the
Christian
celebration of
Christmas
signifies their belief that Jesus is the "Christ" or
Messiah
promised by the
Old Testament
and the
Incarnation
of the
Logos
or second person of the
Trinity
. The main religious celebration among members of the
Catholic Church
and other Christian groups is the Church service at midnight on
Christmas Eve
or on the morning of
Christmas Day
. During the forty days leading up to Christmas, the
Eastern Orthodox Church
practices the
Nativity Fast
, while the majority of Christian congregations (including the
Catholic Church
, the
Anglican Communion
, many
Mainline
churches, and
Baptists
) begin observing the liturgical season of
Advent
four Sundays before Christmas—both are seen as times of spiritual cleansing, recollection and renewal to prepare for the celebration of the birth of Jesus.
