Christianity - The First Christmas

This KS3 RE quiz takes a look at the first Christmas in Christianity. The popular view of Christmas involves presents, turkey, sparkly lights and crackers. What do Christians celebrate on Christmas?

If you have ever seen a Nativity play, you will probably have seen the Angel Gabriel appear to Mary, telling her that she will give birth to God's son, who will be named Jesus; Joseph and Mary making their way to Bethlehem for the census, but finding there is no room in the inn and staying in a stable for the night; Mary laying the newborn Jesus in a manger; the angels singing to the shepherds, who then visit Jesus; and the Magi, or "wise men", following a star until they arrive at the stable, where they present the new king with precious and prophetic gifts.
