“And there were in the same country shepherds watching and keeping the night watches over their flock . And behold an angel of the Lord appeared to them and the brightness of God shone round about them: and they were filled with a great fear. And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring to you good tidings of great joy that shall be to all the people: For this day is born to you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid 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 to men of good will.” Luke 2:8-14
“The Herod, privately calling the wise men learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them. And sending them into Bethlehem, said: Go and diligently inquire after the child, and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I also may come and adore him. Who having heard the king, went their way; and behold the star which they had seen in the west went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was. And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” Matthew 2: 2-12
