The Brick Testament: "Jesus Is Born"

Fig. 3. Having listened to the king, the magi set off. The star that they had seen rising went on before them until it came to a stop over the place where the child was. Matthew 2:9

Fig. 4. They came into the house and saw the young child with his mother Mary. Matthew 2:11

Fig. 12. But when he heard that Archelaus, the son of King Herod, was reigning over Judea, Joseph was afraid to go there. And having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the region of Galilee, and came to live in a town called Nazareth. Matthew 2:22
