The nativity story

There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.

Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”

They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.

The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
