You can find the answer to this in the first chapter of the gospel of John. John has a very poetic and beautiful description of the incarnation of Jesus Christ. As a matter of fact, prior to Vatican II, this section of the gospel was read at the end of every mass (hence it is called "the last gospel").

John talks about the Word, which is the same as the second person of the trinity, who became man and was given the name Jesus. The word has always existed ("he was in the beginning with God"), but Jesus the human being only came into being around 4BC. In John 1:14, "... the Word became flesh and he made his dwelling among us", talks about this happening. This verse is the central part of the prayer known as the Angelus, and at that point in the prayer the people saying it kneel in honor of the incarnation.
