Description

The name Jesus is a form of Joshua, Hebrew for "savior"; "Christ", as he is known to Christians, is Greek for "anointed", a translation of the Hebrew word for messiah. Accounts of his life and ministry and the miracles ascribed to him are recorded in the four canonical Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. His mother was Mary, the wife of Joseph, a carpenter of Nazareth, and a member of the house of the biblical king David. When she was espoused to Joseph, but prior to their marriage, the archangel Gabriel appeared to her to announce that she would be the mother of a child, to be named Jesus (the Annunciation, 56. 70). Afterwards, Mary visited her pregnant cousin Elizabeth for a three-month stay (the Visitation, 13. 64. 3ab). At their meeting, Elizabeth's baby, who would become John the Baptist, leapt in her womb, apparently in joy at Mary's pregnancy. Some months later, Joseph took his wife to crowded Bethlehem for the Roman tax census ordered by the emperor Augustus. Mary gave birth to Jesus in a stable (the Nativity, 1983. 490), where shepherds, alerted by angels, came to visit him. In accordance with Jewish law, the baby was circumcised on the eighth day and given the name of Jesus. Some time later—in the Middle Ages, it was believed to be twelve days after his birth—three Magi, or wise men, who had been guided by a star, arrived to see Jesus (11. 126. 1), with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Thirty-three days after Jesus' birth, following Jewish law for a mother's purification after a son's birth, the family went to the Temple in Jerusalem to offer the sacrifice of a pair of birds. There, in the Presentation in the Temple (31. 67. 8), Simeon and Anna proclaimed Jesus to be the Christ.
