The Bible does not explicitly state that Mary rode a donkey to Bethlehem. The mention of a donkey in relation to Mary's journey to Bethlehem comes from Christian tradition and popular belief rather than direct biblical text. The Gospel of Luke simply states that Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem, but the mode of transportation is not specified.
Mary and Joseph's journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born, was approximately 70-90 miles. They likely traveled by foot or on a donkey, which would have taken them several days to complete.
The Bible does not mention the name of the innkeeper in Bethlehem who turned Mary and Joseph away. The story of the innkeeper turning them away is a popular tradition in Christian culture surrounding the birth of Jesus.
They took one donkey for Mary to rest upon. .................................. There is no mention that Mary and Joseph had a donkey in any of the Gospels, or elsewhere in Scripture. One can assume that they walked, but the bottom line is that no one can be sure what their mode of travel might have been.
According to the Bible, Mary gave birth to Jesus in Bethlehem while she and Joseph were on their way to participate in a census ordered by the Roman emperor Augustus. This event is traditionally celebrated on December 25th and is known as Christmas Day.
At the time of Luke's journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem, Mary and Joseph were only bethrothed, and Mary was still a virgin. We can assume that they were both in their teens, with Mary probably in her early teens. Their parents would likely still have been alive and less than forty years old. If there really was a census during the reign of King Herod, something most scholars dipute strongly, then Joseph's parents would have been expected to go Bethlehem as well. Tradition tends to support the notion that Mary was also descended from King David, although the Bible is silent on this, in which case we could also expect her parents to travel to Bethlehem as well. However, for some reason, Luke's Gospel makes no mention of the extended family travelling together to Bethlehem.
Mary traveled to Bethlehem by riding on a donkey with Joseph.
The biblical figure who famously rode into Bethlehem on a donkey, according to the story of Mary and Joseph's journey, is Joseph.

The Bible does not specify, although most assume it was by donkey. This was a common beast used to carry people and goods at the time, and it is doubtful that Mary would have walked the distance while at full term in her pregnancy.
Mary rode on a donkey, and I assume, Joseph walked at the side.
The Gospels of Mark and Luke state the donkey that Jesus rode had never been previously ridden. Matthew and John also mention that it was a colt.
Probably. There's nothing to suggest it didn't.
The donkey that Mary ( jesus's mum) rode to Bethlehem while she was pregnant with him
"El burrito de Belen" translates to "Belen's little donkey" in English. It refers to a popular Christmas song in Spanish-speaking countries that tells the story of a donkey carrying Mary to Bethlehem.
A Bethlehem donkey developed a black stripe down its back and one across its front shoulders creating a cross. These donkys only developed this after carrying Mary to Bethehem to give birth to Jesus Christ. This is a proven fact. WTB
Very difficult, especially because Mary was pregnant with baby Jesus.
