The Gospels of Matthew and Luke contain stories of the birth of Jesus.
Both accounts had Jesus born in the royal city of Bethlehem, and in both cases an angel announced the divine conception of Jesus. But one gospel says the angel spoke to Mary, the other says the angel spoke to Joseph. Neither gospel author knew about story of the angel in the other gospel and the stories would not make sense if both were true.
In Matthew, Bethlehem was the hometown of Mary and Joseph. Magi came following a star from the east to worship Jesus, alerting King Herod to a possible threat to his rule. Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt to escape the threat from Herod, only returning after his death, but Joseph was told in a dream to turn aside and travel to Galilee, where Jesus grew up in the town of Nazareth.
In Luke, the hometown of Mary and Joseph was Nazareth in Galilee, but they were required by a census to travel to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born in a manger. Poor shepherds came to worship him. A few weeks later, Mary and Joseph travelled to Jerusalem and then returned peacefully to Nazareth, where Jesus grew up.
The modern understanding of the nativity is a conflation of the two accounts in Matthew and Luke, having Nazareth as the home town of Joseph and Mary, and paying little regard to the flight to Egypt and return.

Was there an actual record for the birth of Jesus?
_______________The birth of Jesus was never recorded, but if he was born during the reign of King Herod, this would have been before April 4 BCE, and probably some years before.The birth of Jesus is reported in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. However, Matthew was written during the 80s of the first century, while Luke was written around the end of the first century, both long after the birth of Jesus. The authors could not have known the parents of Jesus and were almost certainly born after the time of the crucifixion. This explains the considerable disparities between the two accounts. There is no reason to consider that either account is more accurate than the other, so we can not say that we have an actual record of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Do the Gospels of Mark and John have detailed birth narratives?
A:No, there is nothing about the birth of Jesus in either Markor John. Writing some years before Matthew and Luke were written, theauthor of Mark simply knew nothing about the nativity traditions. John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) says that in his view, neither birth story, in Matthew and Luke, contains any historical truth. In the case of John's Gospel, which was loosely based on Luke's Gospel, it appears that the author omitted Luke's birth story simply because he did not accept it to be factual.
What is the reason for the virgin birth of Jesus Christ from a Christian standpoint?
The earliest gospel, that attributed to Mark, did not mention the birth of Jesus, and portrayed Jesus as the Son of God from the time of his baptism. The authors of the Gospels of Matthewand Luke each added material that provided an explanation of the birth and infancy of Jesus. They found that if the birth of Jesus was to be narrated and for Jesus to be the Son of God in any literal sense, then his mother Mary had to be a virgin.
