Mary & Jesus
Date: December 25th, 1.
Mary is the mother Jesus and is (next to Jesus) probably the most import figure in Christianity.
She was betrothed to Joseph and, according to the Bible, still a virgin when she became pregnant. The Angel Gabriel announced to her she was to be the mother of the Messiah and that she was conceived by the Holy Spirit. On December 25th she gave birth to Jesus in an barn near Bethlehem. In short, the story of Christmas.

Jesus was born in year 1, year 0 doesn't exist. The years before the birth of Jesus Christ are called B.C. (Before Christ) and A.D. (Anno Domini) for the years after the birth of Jesus. This Christian way of counting the years was created by the 6th century monk Dionysius Exiguus.
