According to the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, Jesus was born in Bethlehem to Mary, a virgin, by a miracle of the Holy Spirit. Joseph and Mary of Nazareth were in Bethlehem because Jews were required to report for a census by Caesar Augustus.

Christmas, the celebration of Jesus' birth, has been traditionally celebrated on December 25 in Western Christianity; in Eastern Christianity, Jesus' birth is generally celebrated on January 6, also known as Epiphany. Setting the celebration on a winter date seems to have been initiated by the early Roman Catholic Church in an attempt to replace the Roman festival of Saturnalia as Biblical accounts suggest the activities of the shepherds were more likely to take place in the spring or summer season.

Joseph and Mary used a stable manger as a crib for the infant Jesus when they couldn't find room at the inn. The Gospels report that the family was visited by the lowly shepherds, and the "Wise Men" or "Magi" who brought gifts of "gold, frankenscence and myrhh" after following a star they believed was a sign that the King of the Jews, had been born (Matthew 2:1-12).

The Baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist is the beginning of Jesus' public ministry. After Jesus was baptized the Gospel of Mark states "the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove. Then a voice came from heaven saying: ‘You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased’" (Mark 1:10–11).

Jesus attracted large crowds in his ministry where he performed miracles and used parables to teach about love, forgiveness, faith, and humility. The Sermon on the Mount included the Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer.

The only money accepted for ceremonies at the Temple in Jerusalem was Jewish coinage, people with Greek and Roman coins had to change money to worship. Jesus, offened by the commerce, drove the merchants out; later the priests, teachers, elders, Pharisees and Herodians questioning Jesus' authority to do the things that he is doing.

The last meal Jesus shared with his Apostles, during Passover and before the Crucifiction, is called the Last Supper. Christian ceremonies of the Eucharist and Holy Communion is based on the sharing of bread and wine: Jesus breaks the bread saying "this is my body", takes a cup of wine saying "this is my blood."
