Then
the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring
you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For
there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who
is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will
find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, 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, goodwill toward men!"
So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven,
that the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go to Bethlehem
and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made
known to us." And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph,
and the Babe lying in a manger. Now when they had seen Him, they
made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this
Child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which
were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things
and pondered them in her heart.
[Luke 2:1019]
