And in that region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear.
And the angel said to them, "Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger."
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!"
Luke2:8-15

ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture - I love how His light illuminates Mary's face!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a wonderful Christmas holiday, Caite.
As we used to say in the old days: "Et cum spiritu tuo."
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a wonderful Christmas weekend - I want to hear how the cake turned out! Mine was so good I made another and we plowed through TWO of them! (yay for rum, butter and sugar - an unbeatable combo!)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you as well.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a very nice Christmas season so far. Of course, I am a great believer in the whole 12 days of Christmas, the 12 days from Christmas to the feast of the Epiphany on January 6th.
ReplyDeleteThe 2 feet of snow and the blizzard conditions, with that sideways blowing snow may today a lazy day...except for trying out the snow blower I gave my brother!
The Christmas Cake turned out wonderful, if I do say so myself. The best I have ever made IMHO...and the opinion of those lucky enough to have gotten some.
