Christmas Knowledge…

Thought I’d post a little test and see how deep our Christmas knowledge really is.  This is only a test, don’t worry if you miss only a few or a whole bunch, it’s just fun to test yourself and see how much you really know.  I’ll post the answers next week!

3)  Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but where did he grow up?

4)  What did Joseph ”have in mind to do…quietly” once he found out Mary was pregnant - yet after a visit from an angel, never did it?

5)  How many magi or wise men does the Bible say visited the baby Jesus?

6)  What were the gifts of the magi?

7)  What king tried to coerse the magi to reveal to them the location of the baby Jesus?

8)  Which of the following did the angel NOT tell Mary about her son: 1) he will be called the Son of the Most High, 2) he will sit on the throne of David, 3) he will take away the sins of the world.

9)  Elizabeth and Zechariah were the parents of whom?

10)  According to Luke’s gospel, what was the old man Simeon promised that would happen before he died?
