Jesus was born to Mary and Joseph on December 25th.  For the first 30 years of his life he was as normal as the next man.  In his 30th year he recruited 12 deciples and began teaching the importance of believing in God and following the 10 Commandments.  Because he claimed to be one in the same w/ God he was accused of violating Roman law.  He was then ordered to be executed.  He was hung from a cross until dead and then wrapped in white cloth and put into a tomb.  On the third day after his death Jesus arose from the dead and then spent the next 40 days journeying and continuing to teach the gospel.  Then he returned to Jerusalem and left the earth by rising up into the sky.
