Just discovered this incredible piece of work- and you have to see it for yourself in the largest size when you click on it. This is so well done! What is it? A timeline of where everyone was at the time of the birth of Jesus. If you've ever read the Bible's accounts of what led up to the biggest event in history (God coming to earth as a Man), you might have wondered how it all came together.
From here on out, I'll let the text from BibleGateway do the talking...

Chances are you’ll be reading or hearing the Christmas story sometime this week! As a companion to your reading, here’s a timeline that shows where the myriad characters of the Christmas story were during events surrounding the first Christmas (click on the image below to enlarge):
(Also available: high-resolution image and PDF.)
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.
Each line represents a person, and the narrative unfolds
as you follow from left to right. When character lines meet up and run
alongside each other, those characters were together during that event. It
starts with the angel Gabriel appearing to Zechariah and ends with the return
to Nazareth of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
The following detail shows the most famous part of the
story, the birth of Jesus:
In this part of the story, Joseph and Mary arrive in
Bethlehem and find no room in the inn, so Jesus is born in a stable. Angels
appear to nearby shepherds, who seek the newborn child and then depart,
“glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which
were just as they had been told.”
