According to the legends of the Gospels, the mother of Jesus, Mary, and her husband Joseph lived in Nazareth, and they came to Bethlehem, fulfilling the order of the governor Augustus to appear for the entire population for a census. Since so many people had gathered for the census, Mary and Joseph could not find a place to sleep, so they had to take refuge in a small cave where shepherds hid in bad weather. It was there that Mary gave birth to Jesus, then an angel descended from heaven and told the shepherds that God had been born, so they were the first to come to worship the baby.
