The Roman Emperor Augustus ordered a census to be taken throughout the empire, which meant that everyone had to return to their place of origin to register. Joseph had to go with Mary from Nazareth to Bethlehem, which was his city, as he was a descendant of King David. While they were in Bethlehem, the hour of delivery came for Mary. Jesus was born, and she placed him in a manger, since there was no room for them in the stable.
