Bethlehem (Birth of Jesus)

Jesus of Nazareth — Michael of Nebadon in his seventh and final bestowal — was born at noon on August 21, 7 BC, in a manger room of a Bethlehem inn. His parents, Joseph (a black-eyed brunet of Hebrew descent) and Mary (a brown-eyed, well-nigh blond woman of mixed Syrian, Hittite, Phoenician, Greek, and Egyptian ancestry), had traveled to Bethlehem for the Roman census. The infant Jesus was a healthy, normal child. Zacharias and Elizabeth's son John (the Baptist) had been born six months earlier. Three priests from Ur arrived weeks later, guided not by a star but by the legend of Melchizedek that persisted in their Mesopotamian homeland.
