Advent: Faith #Christmas #Inspirational #Advent2022

…and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

–Luke 2:7 (NIV)

It’s the second week of Advent and the candle to be lit signifies or is a symbol for faith or Bethlehem.

Why were Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem instead of staying put in Nazareth?

In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,to be registered with Mary, his betrothed - Luke 2: 2-6
