When traveling to Bethlehem during the census, Mary and Joseph did not stay at an inn, as there was no room for them.(Luke 2:4-7) They stayed in the stable. No name was given for either place in The Bible.

Did Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem on Christmas Eve?

A:In Luke's account of the nativity, Mary and Joseph would have travelled down on the eastern side of the River Jordan, as the mountainous route through Samaria would have been too difficult and too dangerous for a Jew. Depending on the route taken, they would probably have stopped over at Pella and other towns. Once back across the Jordan, they would have followed the road to Jericho, then on to Jerusalem. Passing through Jerusalem would have almost been an obligation for a Jew, and particularly so for Mary and Joseph, as the husband of Mary's cousin Elisabeth was a priest in the Temple. In fact, Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) wonders why Joseph did not leave Mary there with her cousin but took her at such a late stage of pregnancy to Bethlehem, where they knew no one and could not even find accommodation (Luke 2:7: "...because there was no room for them in the inn.").Another Answer:There are many differing views to this question concerning the travels of Mary & Joseph. But the only truth comes from the Scripture itself.The Bible never describes the route, mode of transportation, living place, length of pregnancy, or the time of year. The Bible only says Mary came with Joseph. Could of walked, been on a donkey, camel or other means. As Joseph's lineage was from Bethlehem, hence the reason for their travels, most likely they stayed with a family member (Greek word 'kataluma' means guest room, lodging place or inn). It never says Mary gave birth that evening as is a popular belief but rather 'while they were there (in Bethlehem), the days were accomplised that she should deliver' (Luke 2:6). Arriving weeks before her due date would make a lot of sense and as God was the Father, I'm sure He planned the trip well.


Where did Mary and Joseph lived before Jesus was born?

AnswerIt is very unclear where Mary and Joseph lived before Jesus was born. The only sources we have on this are the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, which appear to be in mutual disagreement.Luke's Gospel makes it clear that, in the author's view, Mary and Joseph lived in Nazareth but travelled to Bethlehem where Jesus was born in a stable, there being no room in the inn. The young couple soon afterwards took Jesus to Jerusalem and then returned peacefully to Nazareth. There are some historical problems with this account, that make it seem doubtful.Matthew's Gospel seems to say that Mary and Joseph lived in a house in Bethlehem before Jesus was born. Afterr the visit by the magi, they fled to Egypt and remained there until the death of King Herod. They then returned to Judea, implying that this was indeed their home but, being warned by God in a dream, turned aside and travelled to Galilee, where they then dwelt in a city called Nazareth. From this, it seems at least unlikely that the young couple lived in Nazareth.We do not know where Mary and Joseph lived before Jesus was born.

What was in the stable when Jesus was born?

AnswerIn Luke's Gospel, Mary and Joseph travelled from Nazareth to Bethlehem for a census. When they found no room in the inn, they stayed in a stable, where Jesus was born (Luke 2:7).
