Christmas with the Nephites

Below are the quotes that were used in the video.

President Russell M. Nelson:  “My dear brothers and sisters, the wish of my heart for each of you tonight has several components. Actually, it is not my wish for you. It is my prayer for you at this sacred Christmastime.”

“First, I pray that you will feel that deep, eternal love our Savior has for you personally.

 “Jesus Christ has known you since the premortal realm. He knows and sees you now. He sees your joy and your sorrows. He has experienced each of them. He has perfect compassion for your struggles and rejoices every time you press forward in  righteousness, during good times and bad.


“I pray that you will gain your own personal witness that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He is filled with godly power, and that because of His grand atoning sacrifice, you never need to feel that you must face life’s difficult challenges alone…

“I pray that you will take full advantage of the Savior’s Atonement by repenting daily, making your life increasingly pure, and seeking heavenly guidance in all that you do…

“I also pray that you will use this holiday season to begin a season of even greater personal worship.  Begin anew to study the teachings and the Atonement of Jesus Christ. No one on this earth loves you as much as He does. No one here understands you better or really knows your sorrows and weaknesses. No one on earth has the power that Jesus Christ has. No one here is more eager for you to become everything you can become. No one pleads with the Father on your behalf as He does…”
(“Come, Let Us Adore Him,” 2023 First Presidency's Christmas Devotional)
​

Kataluma (Gr.) – “the spare or upper room in a private house or in a village […] where travelers received hospitality and where no payment was expected” (ISBE 2004).

For a more detailed look at what an inn was like in Israel at the time of Christ's birth, please take a look at "The Accommodations of Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem: Κατάλυμα in Luke 2.7* by STEPHEN C. CARLSON http://www.hypotyposeis.org/papers/Carlson%202010%20NTS.pdf
