Was Jesus really born in Bethlehem?
Asked 4 years ago
The story of the holy night where Jesus was born in a shed and laid down in a manger. How true is it? How did he then come to be from Nazareth?

According to Matthew and Luke, Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Joseph and Mary travelled to Bethlehem for the census that was taking place. After the census and birth of Jesus, they returned to the city Nazareth where they stayed. This can be why Jesus was called Jesus of Nazareth as it is where he grew up.
