Mary was going to marry a carpenter named Joseph. When Joseph found out Mary was having a baby, he was worried and confused.
One night an angel came to Joseph in a dream. “Don't be afraid to marry Mary. This baby is from God!”
The angel said, “Name Him Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.” Joseph woke up and did just what the angel said.
