This visualization traces the Christmas story as told in Matthew 1-2 and Luke 1-2, showing you who is with whom throughout the story. Verse references are provided so you can look up each event in the Bible for details. Also see the Bible Gateway Blog post, Who Was Where at Christmas? A Christmas Story Timeline.

Share the scriptural narrative with your family and friends using the Bible Gateway Blog post, Christmas Bible Verses.

This Infographic is a companion to our Holy Week Timeline, which takes a similar visual approach to the Easter story of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
