1st Week Of Advent:
Church of the Nativity, Bethlehem Israel
And in the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the field, and keeping watch over their flocks by night.
And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly afraid.
And the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which shall be for all the people;
For today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger.
And suddenly there appeared 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 His favor rests.
Luke 2:8-14
