Maguy Daoud: A child is born ( Christmas Story ) Once upon a time there was an emperor called Augustus Caesar, he was the ruler of the great roman emperor. In his kingdom all was well organized, from the royal family, to the servants, to the soldiers that only ordered by his majesty. Once he decided to make a new rule in his kingdom which is a demographic population , he ordered to organize and number the people living in the land authorized by the great emperror. Every person should register his name in the city that he took the first birth. And Palestine was at that time a land in the roman emperor. In this vast emperor, there was a small family formed from two people which are Saint Joseph the wood maker and the holy Virgin Mary whoâ??s pregnant, they went to Bethlehem to register his family there. During the road, holly virgin Mary turned very tired from travelling, so they went to search for a place to live in it, but unfortunately, and for the bad chance Joseph and Mary didnâ??t find any place because the all rooms of the hotels was plenty of people. Theyâ??ve been searching all the night and went to ask the hotels owners until at least a very modest person proposed to them to live for temporary time in a stable established for his animals. Even the place was very bad to sleep there, Joseph and Mary accepted modestly because there was outside very cold, and the wind was playing his music until everything turned to froze. They settled in, and suddenly Mary felt that the birth pain started. In the middle of this cold night Mary gave a birth to a very special child that they named him â??Emmanuel â??who means God with us â??. Jesus the born baby was put in a crèche. In the same time of this glorious night, an angel called â?? Gabriel â?? appears to sheep pastors that they guard their sheep while eating grass, and he told them about the birth of Jesus, giving them a mission to search for him and visited. When the angel Gabriel finished his parole, a troop of great angels sings: Alleluiah !Glory to God and the peace on heaven, and joy to the world. â??Joy to the world the Lord has come And the land receives her king La la la lalla lalllallaâ?¦â?¦ La la la la. The pastors begin their important mission, and it was searching in all Bethlehem, they searched all the night until they found a very small person lived in a crèche, theyâ??ve kneed and told holly virgin Mary and Joseph the wood maker what have been they told from a great angel. In the other side of this great earth, in the countries of the East, some wisdom people saw a very big yellow star that shines in the sky, and it was by that time a great evidence knowing by people that a great king is born. So, at this night they decided to travel to that place to knee to the born baby king, and during their travelling trip, the star was their first guidance to the road until they get to Jerusalem. First of all they went to a king that called â?? Herodes â?? asking his majesty about the new baby born that theyâ??ve told : "King of juifs", But the king Herodes didnâ??t knew anything about that born baby, so he asked the wisdom menâ??s and told them: â?? Go and search for him and come back to tell me about his place and where he lives, I want to go and kneed for him tooâ??. In deep himself, the King Herodes want to kill that baby fearing that the baby born taking his thrown and being the new ruler king. The wisdom menâ??s was astonished about the news that told by the king Heroldes because they already know that King Herodes was a mean person. Even that they went for searching the born king. The wisdom menâ??s continued their trip until they reach the place that the baby born was leading by the shiny great star. They reached the place taking with them great gifts, they entered the crèche slowly and kneethed in front of God Jesus and they present their three gifts: Gold, Louban, and myrrh. After their visit, the mages went to come back to their homes, but they didnâ??t tell the king Herodes about the baby place, and that good reason for not killing Jesus. Arenâ??t they good? Yes they are. In the other side of Bethlehem, holly virgin Mary looked by hope to his great son, but Joseph was so tired that cold night, so he felt asleep and begin to snoring. In the middle of this snowy night, the angel Gabriel appears to Joseph by a dream and told him: â??Joseph! Joseph! Wake up! Wake up! You should leave here, because the King Herodes wants to kill the baby born, Hurry up and took the way to Egypt. Poor Joseph, Jesus, and Mary, they obliged for the second time to travel in cold winter weather, and in the middle of the night that bears every whisper under the snow. Nobody was on the road, the road was empty, darky, and scary only Joseph, Jesus under the wings of tender Mary, and on a donkey that gave it to them a modest man,this man was the same one that he gave them the crèche that silent night. â??Go! Go! Go! And save this boy, he is the honor of this world, said the modest man to Joseph and God be with you all around the journey". Joseph thanked this modest man deeply and took his family strictly way to Egypt. By this night, the king Herodes was very angry from the behaviors of the three wisdom menâ??s , first of all because they didnâ??t respect his powerful royal ruling throwne, and second they lied to him. For that great anger reason, he commands all his soldiers in the entire emperor to kill every boy born under 2 years old. Poor king Herodes, he didnâ??t know that he made a lifetime criminal, not in the eye of the roman emperor itself, but in the eyes and justice of God. Poor moms, they tried to hide their boys from the hands of the criminal Herodes, but unfortunately they couldnâ??t because of the existence of the roman soldiers that they spread like the virus in the weather everywhere. From house to house the crying of poor ladies broke the silence of this sadly night. In the other side of that dark night, there was three peoples hard travelling from place to place, from to road, from river to river, from valley to valley, crossing the wind and the cold, and the rain , even the snow it didnâ??t stop their insistence to reach the pyramids land. At least they reached Egypt, a country of marvelous civilizations, oldest one like the pharaohs themselves. They also across the grand Nile River which is famous in the world. â??Egyptâ?¦. Here we areâ??, said Joseph with anxiety and taking deep breath. He helped Mary to down from the back of this poor tired donkey and for the big help of it gaves and Joseph offered him water and some food to eat. After taking some rest, Joseph begins for a job search, he has quietly sure on his neck a family of two persons, a women she needs good nourriture for good milk to the baby king. So, he started asking people about the job who can help his family from hunger and cold. After a lot of search, he introduced a man who works as wood maker like Joseph himself. â??Oh! What a chance, I found a jobâ??, said Joseph to Mary who in her turn was so happy for his beloved one. â??Good honey! Iâ??m so glad for you, said Mary with a big smile on her beautiful face. Joseph started his new job as a wooden maker with his chief, and he was very enthusiastic person in creating a lot of beautiful wooden things. His chief at work noticed his beautiful work, and he proposed him a living house near to his factory. Joseph by then accepted his generous offer and moved another time with his family to a new house. Two years passed while the saint family lived in Egypt, and Jesus was growing in a loving family, prayer one, and warming. During his growing up, Jesus was a very clever boy, he learned from his father the wooden ways, and Mary what do you think sheâ??s doing? She's of course raised his only beloving son the good manners, the prayer, and she made a very beautiful linen t-shirts for Jesus and Joseph, plus the good food she cooked. They lived three of them happy, sacrifiying, and a lot of prayers until that time comes to back to Jerusalem. |
