THE STORY OF BETHLEHEM

AND she brought forth her hrst-bOrn son,
and wrapped him in swaddling clothes,
and laid him in a manager; because there was
no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field. keeping
watch over their flock by night.
And. 10, 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. | 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 Saviour, which is Christ the
Lord.
And this shall be sign unto you; Ye
shall hno the DdDe wrapped IN SWaddllng
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.
And it came to pass, as the angels were
gone away from them into heaven. the
shepherds said one to another, Let us
now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this
thing which is come to pass, which the Lord
hath made known unto us.ASt Luke
