God even sent the angel Gabriel to Yue Se in his dream, telling him not to abandon Maria just because she was unmarried and pregnant, but to marry her and name the child "Jesus", which means to save people from sin.
When Maria was about to give birth, the Roman government issued an order that everyone must declare their household registration when going to Bethlehem. Yue Se and Mary had to obey.

So Mary only gave birth to Jesus in a manger. In order to commemorate the birth of Jesus, later generations designated1February 25th as Christmas, and held mass every year to commemorate the birth of Jesus.
