Despite nativity plays commencing in schools across the country, it seems many people struggle with the storyline of the birth of baby Jesus.
A majority of Britons appear to be unaware that Jesus was born out of wedlock and some believe that the first person to visit the manger was Santa.
Only 26 per cent knew that Mary and Joseph were betrothed when asked about the story of the birth of Christ, a survey revealed.
'Naivety' play: Children and their parents have sparse knowledge of the story of the birth of Jesus Christ, a poll has shown .
Over 2,000 children and parents were polled on behalf of the Bible Society about their nativity play knowledge, and the results showed some major holes in the story.
Two per cent thpught Mary and Joseph were �on their first date� when they found out she was pregnant, The Telegraph reported.
A further 37 people thought Santa Claus was the first person to visit baby Jesus where a majority believed he was sleeping in a Moses basket � not a manger, polling company ICM revealed.
Labour did a good job getting rid of christianity and once the church gives in to GAY marriage that will be the end of them, roll on ISLAM. |
