The Shepherds and the Angels
adapted from the Bible

………….And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock. Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were afraid.  The angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be for all the people: for there is born to you this day in the city of David, a Savior which is Christ the Lord. And this is the sign unto you; ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, 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!!! , Peace on earth, and good will toward men.

And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph and the babe lying in the manger. And when they saw the babe, they made known what was spoken to them about this child. All that heard, wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds,  But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto them.

……….And when eight days were fulfilled his name was called:

JESUS
