The Nativity

The Nativity is the third of the five Joyful Mysteries of the rosary, prayed on Mondays and Saturdays.

And it came to pass, that when they were there, her days were accomplished, that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

Luke 2:6-7 (Douay-Rheims)
