Wow, you did a wonderful job with this one. I loved your narrative note, it was simple and direct-'This is my view of the nativity from a historical perspective.' Your words were perfect for this biblical event. This was very well done and very much enjoyed. Blessings.

Corrections:

Throughout: Ary ben David, should capitalize Ben

Paragraph 1: Moving star should be morning star

Nice job here retelling the Nativity scene. Good wording, descriptive and storytelling here

    I use the lower case ben for the old Hebrew meaning son of. The moving star is the one the Magi would follow.
    Thank you for the read and review.

What a great view of one of the greatest nights in history. I enjoyed reading it; it's well-written and gives the account of the birth of Christ, but with a more personal view.

Thank you for sharing a different view of the Nativity from Scripture. I liked that you gave the innkeeper a name and since he's also a son of David, (ben David) he's a relative of Joseph's!

Comments:
make ourselves to home." (at home) Maybe it's more common where you live to say "to home"?

Formatting:
A lot of space was in the middle of this sentence:
"had less and less

energy"

After that sentence, the spacing between the paragraphs changed and no longer had the blank line between paragraphs as before.

    Thank you for the read and review. I still have trouble getting my computer formatting to agree with Fanstory when I paste the post. I have read and heard the to home. it sounds a little strange to the ear but I like to be a little different.

Compelling and thought-provoking--vivid imagery--scene skillfully rendered--masterfully narrated. The events as you relate them comport with the Bible story.

    The Bible is telling a redemption story which is good, I always thought there was deleted details. So my little brain ran wild.
