Many years after the prophets and great leaders of the Old Testament passed away God selected a young maiden named Mary to be the mother of the Savior. She lived in Judah in a region called Galilee, and a city named Nazareth. Mary was a direct descendant of Adam and Eve, Abraham, and David. God sent the angel Gabriel to her with a message. Gabriel told Mary that she was to conceive a child and was to name him Jesus, and that he was to become a great ruler. Mary was troubled because she was a virgin, and she asked Gabriel how this could come to pass.
And the angel answered and said unto her, “ The Holy Ghost shall come
upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also
that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”
St. Luke 1:35
Hence the promise given to Eve that from her seed would come a redeemer is to find it’s fulfillment in Mary.

Mary was engaged to a young man named Joseph, who was of the House of David, and was also a descendant of Adam and Eve, and Abraham. When Joseph found out that Mary was with child, he sought to have her put away in secret, as he was a thoughtful man and didn’t want Mary to be publicly disgraced. Joseph contemplated this plan when an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and told him not to worry about taking Mary as his wife since that which was conceived in her was of the Holy Spirit. He also told Joseph;
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name
Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.”
St. Matthew 1:21
Joseph agreed to take Mary, a virgin, as his wife thus fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah.

In the same region at the time of the birth of Jesus, some shepherds were tending their flocks of sheep during the night. When an Angel of the Lord appeared before them, the shepherds were very afraid.
And the angel said unto them, “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you
good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto
you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is
Christ the Lord.”
St. Luke 2:10,11
The angel said the child would be wrapped in cloths, and be found laying in a manger. Other angels then joined the first angel and they all sang praises to God. Then they ascended back to heaven. The shepherds went to Bethlehem and found Jesus, and told everyone what the angels had said. The shepherds then left giving praise and glory to God. So began the blessing given to Abraham unto all the Nations.
