The True Meaning of Christmas

And there were in the same country 

shepherds abiding in the field, 

keeping watch over their flock by night. 

And, lo, the angel of the Lord 
came upon them, 
and the glory of the Lord 
shone round about them: 

and they were sore afraid. 

And the angel said unto them, 

"Fear not: for, behold, 

I bring you good tidings of great joy, 

which shall be to all people. 

For unto you is born this day 

in the city of David a Savior, 

which is Christ the Lord. 

And this shall be a sign unto you; 

Ye shall find the babe wrapped in 

swaddling clothes, 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, 

good will toward men." 

                   

Luke 2:8-14
