They were important only because mankind has made them important in all the stories surrounding Jesus' birth.

But Jesus said, when replying to a question about the greatness of John the Baptist, "The least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." And the same answer could apply to those attending Jesus' birth.

A:The first-century Jews yearned for a messiah who would rid them of foreign domination. He would be descended from King David and be born in David's own birthplace, Bethlehem. To fit the Jewish expectations as a messiah, Jesus therefore had to be born in Bethlehem.

The Gospels of Matthew and Luke differ on many important details regarding the birth of Jesus, but two things they do agree on is that he was born in Bethlehem and was descended from David. The authors were telling their readers that Jesus was the messiah.
