Our Bible Reading of the Day is Luke 2:1-20. Mary and Joseph travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem, where a simple stable serves as the birthplace for the promised Christ Child. Angelic hosts announce the birth of the Savior to simple shepherds, who hasten to worship the Child. Having seen the Savior in the flesh, the shepherds quickly spread the news of His birth. This is the moment that creation has been waiting for since God first promised a Savior to the first sinners, Adam and Eve.
