Wishing You...

And it came to pass in those day,

that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus,

that all the world should be taxed.

And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was Governor of Syria.

And all went to be taxed, everyone into his own city.

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea,

unto the City of David, which is called Bethlehem.

Because He was the house & lineage of David.

To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

And so it was that, while they were there.

The days were accomplished that She should be delivered.

And She brought forth Her first born son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes,

and laid Him in a manger, 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 the Angelof the Lord, came upon them,

and the Glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were so afraid.

And the Angel said unto them, 'Fear Not, For Behold

I bring you good tiddings of Great Joy, which shall be to all people

For unto you is born this day in the City of David a saviour, which is Christ the Lord

And this shall be a sign unto you,

Ye shall find the baby wrapped in the swaddling clothes lying in the manger'.

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.'
