When the mother of Jesus Christ became pregnant, she got scared. She was a virgin then. She was not married. In those days, this was considered a terrible sin and crime. Any woman found guilty of this crime was stoned to death. This situation took Mary's sleep away. When her fiancé came to know about it, he got angry and started thinking about breaking the marriage.

When Mary (Maryam) became pregnant, she was in Nazareth, located in the Galilee province of the ancient Jewish kingdom. In those times, it was considered a serious social crime and sin for virgin girls to become pregnant. Such women had to face severe punishment (such as death by stoning).

We all know that Jesus Christ was born in a simple cattle pasture in Bethlehem. Mary did not want this to be known in her home. That is why she came away from home and gave birth to the child in Bethlehem.

Mary was already engaged.
In fact, Mary was already engaged before she became pregnant. The young man she was engaged to was named Joseph. Even after the engagement, the boy had to stay away until he got married. Meanwhile, when Mary became pregnant, she was told that a holy spirit had come into her womb through God and she would have to give birth to it.

She was scared.
As soon as Mary heard this, she got scared. In the society of that time, no girl could become a mother without marriage. If anyone came to know about this, she would be considered a criminal and killed. She tried to hide this, but when her fiancé Yusuf came to know about this, he became very angry.

What did the angry fiancé decide then?
He decided to walk out of Mary's life. He was also surprised how Mary became pregnant. How did she get a child? However, he wanted to keep her safe, so he decided to quietly separate. Deciding this, he returned to his home. He was very upset. He could not understand how and when the girl he loved so much became pregnant.

It was certain that if the news of Virgin
Mary's pregnancy came out, she would have been defamed a lot, there would have been a danger of social boycott. Along with that, death penalty as well. Overall, Mary was in a lot of trouble.

Why Mary's fiancé did not leave her?
This incident is mentioned in the Bible. It is said that Joseph had decided to leave Mary. But he did not do so because of a dream. He had a dream in which an angel told him that the child growing in Mary's womb was the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him. He took Mary to his house as his wife. However, he did not marry her until she gave
birth to a son. The child was named Jesus. However, Mary got a special place in Christianity due to becoming a virgin mother. Mary also faced this situation with patience and faith.

Although December 25 is celebrated as the birthday of Jesus Christ, this date is not considered historically accurate. There is no specific date given in the Bible for the birth of Jesus. Ordinary place: Jesus was born in an ordinary cattle feeder because all the places in Bethlehem were full.

According to the Bible, Mary became pregnant while she was still a virgin by the power of the Holy Spirit; this event is known as the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel appeared to her and told her that she would give birth to a son named Jesus. The angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and informed her of her pregnancy.
