While they were there, the time came
for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son.
She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because
there was no room for them in the inn.
Now there were shepherds in that
region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock.
The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone
around them, and they were struck with great fear. The angel said to
them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of
great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of
David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.
And this will be a sign for you: you
will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a
manger."
(Luke 2:6-12)
