In the Gospels according to Matthew and that according to Luke, Jesus’ birth and childhood is narrated. While both of these accounts mention Jesus as not only being the son of Joseph and his virgin wife Mary but also the Son of God, they also have numerous differences between the two.

I noticed that they  are quite identical. They both speak of a time of the Messiah, when the Anointed of the LORD reigns over the earth. A time when all will submit to Jusus leadership.  Israel will be the "superpower" on earth.

Sandra Schneiders (as cited in Ryan, 2012), describes the bible as “…an integral, even normative, part of living tradition”. This can be seen particularly in the use of the infancy narratives which tell the well-known Christmas story, in Catholic religious groups today – individual parishioners, churches and Catholic Education institutions. The text is used and heavily relied upon to inform believers and those wishing to gain insight into the Catholic religion, on the faith. It appears through contemporary

Greccio – Christmas Crib at Midnight Mass After returning from the Holy Land, Francis conceived the idea of reenacting Christ’s birth in Bethlehem. By doing this, pilgrims would not have to take a dangerous trip to the Holy Land (controlled by the Turks) and could see “the hardships a newborn babe must endure: how he was placed in a manger, and how he lay on straw between an ox and an ass.” At Greccio (60 miles SSW of Assisi) on December 25, 1223, Francis created the first "living crib."

continues the persecution of the early church. The chapter begins, “Now about that time.” This time refers to the famine described in verse 27 of chapter 11.

Luke says Herod laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to mistreat them. Why would Herod persecute the church? The people generally do not like the Herodian family. But, Herod has to
