Matthew 5:13-16 TLV
Called to Be Salt and Light
13 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt should lose its flavor, how shall it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.
14 "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men so they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."

In Matthew 1 about Mary (Miriam):
The Miraculous Birth of Yeshua
18 Now the birth of Yeshua the Messiah happened this way. When His mother Miriam was engaged to Joseph but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Ruach ha-Kodesh. 19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her publicly, made up his mind to dismiss her secretly. 20 But while he considered these things, behold, an angel of Adonai appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Miriam as your wife, for the Child conceived in her is from the Ruach ha-Kodesh. 21 She will give birth to a son; and you shall call His name Yeshua, for He will save His people from their sins."
22 Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by Adonai through the prophet, saying, 23 "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and give birth to a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which means "God with us."[f]
24 When Joseph woke up from his sleep, he did as the angel of Adonai commanded him and took Miriam as his wife. 25 But he did not know her intimately until she had given birth to a Son. And he called His name Yeshua.

About Yeshua haMashiyach was born on the 1st day of Sukkot time:
Mary (Miriam) was conceived during the Chanukah days, and 9 months later Yeshua was born on Sukkot. Yeshua is the Light of World.
On Luke 2 Chapter about Joseph (Yosef):
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+2&version=TLV
Truthfully, this is very powerful witness tool the Good News in Yeshua haMashiyach:
In Luke 2:1 the key: tax (census/decree)
Tax time during the Sukkot Festival. Sukkot is in September/October.
Yeshua's Birth in Bethelem:
1How it happened in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus to register all the world's inhabitants.
In Luke 2:4 shows Bethelem means "House of Bread":
4 Now Joseph also went up from the Galilee, out of the town of Natzeret to Judah, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was from the house and family of David. [a] 5 He went to register with Miriam, who was engaged to him and was pregnant.
6 But while they were there, the time came for her to give birth— 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped Him in strips of cloth and set Him down in a manger, since there was no room for them in the inn.
Footnote:
[a] Luke 2:5 cf. Micah 5:1 (2).
The Refiner's Fire:
Bethelem is only about 5 miles from Jerusalem and so Y'shua was born there because no room at the inn. The Bethlehem means "House of Bread", with the strong connotation of House Of Battle. And as we all know Y'shua is the "Bread of Life" (John 6:43-51).

In Luke 2:7 shows "crowd" people: Tax same time Sukkot Festival - there were no room in the inn.
6 But while they were there, the time came for her to give birth— 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped Him in strips of cloth and set Him down in a manger, since there was no room for them in the inn.
How do we all know "manger" refers Sukkot?
"manger" means tabernacle, booth, shelter, hut, encamp, tent, temporary reside, pavillion, cottage, ..........
Sukkah is the singular.
Sukkot is the plural.
The Key: The Scriptures 1998 and TLV
John 1:14And the Word became flesh and pitched His tent1 among us, and we saw His esteem, esteem as of an only brought-forth of a father, complete in favour and truth.

John 1:14 TLV
14 And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. We looked upon His glory,[b] the glory of the one and only[c] from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Footnote:

Leviticus 23: YHWH & His Seven Feasts

In Luke 2:8:
8 Now there were shepherds in the same region, living out in the fields and guarding their flock at night.
True story about "flock" were around the night. From October 15 to March 15 in the East.
In ancient times as today, shepherds brought their flocks in from the fields and penned them in shelters not later than the middle of October! This was necessary to protect them from the cold, rainy season that usually followed that date. (The Bible itself makes it clear that winter in Israel is a rainy season; see Ezra 10:9, 13; Song of Solomon 2:11.)
Check my old video in December 3, 2011 about the shepherds who take care of sheep from Passover (March/April) to October 15:
Luke 2 Chapter is the powerful key for the shepherds who take care of sheep.
Real story about shepherds who take care of sheep from Passover to October 15 in Palestine:
"It's a well...-known fact that December falls in the middle of the rainy season in Palestine, and the sheep were kept in the fold at that time of the year." (Refer to Ezra 10:9-13, Song of Solomon 2:11, which show winter as the rainy season and shepherds could not be out on the cold, open fields at night with their sheep.)"The shepherds always corralled their flocks from October to April. They brought their sheep from the mountainsides and the fields no later than October 15 to protect them from the cold, rainy season that followed that date. So the birth of Mashiyach (Messiah) could not have taken place at the end of December."
Yeshua was not born on Christmas Day (December 25). Yeshua was born during the Sukkot (September/October) according these scripture verses.
