Shepherds (Pleiades) Startled, they heard angels sing: The Saviour is born. Surprised, they followed the star to a stable where, safe in Mary’s arms, the Son of God slept. Then, in silence, they knelt and prayed. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Contest by Andrea Dietrich Merry Christmas & Happy New Year © 24th December 2016
