"In the same region, shepherds were staying out in the fields
and keeping watch at night over their flock. Then an angel of
the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around
them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, 'Don't be
afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be
for all the people: Today a Savior, who is Messiah the Lord, was born
for you in the city of David. This will be the sign for you: You will
find a baby wrapped snugly in cloth and lying in a feeding trough.'

"Suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel,
praising God and saying: 'Glory to God in the highest heaven, and
peace on earth to people He favors!' When the angels had left them
and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, 'Let's
go straight to Bethlehem and see what has happened, which the
Lord has made known to us.' They hurried off and found both Mary
and Joseph, and the baby who was lying in the feeding trough.
After seeing them, they reported the message they were told about
this child, and all who heard it (music begins) were amazed at what
the shepherds said to them. But Mary was treasuring up all these
things in her heart and meditating on them. The shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God for all they had seen and heard, just as
they had been told" (Luke 2:8-20).
