Joseph Told About Jesus

When Joseph, who was betrothed (similar to an engagement) to Mary, learned that Mary was pregnant, he was bewildered and hurt, believing she had been unfaithful to him. But, Joseph didn't want to hurt her. So, he determined to divorce her quietly so as not to cause her public shame and embarrassment. But then an angel appeared to Joseph and explained that Mary's baby was special because the Child would be conceived of the Holy Spirit. These Joseph Told About Jesus Bible activities are about Joseph's learning the truth about Mary's baby and how he, in turn, told Mary about Jesus.
