Uses: Christmas, Christmas Eve Scripture: Luke 2:1-20; John 1:4 This intimate portrait of the Holy Family in the moments after the birth of Jesus has a delicate innocence that touches the deepest places of the heart. An endearing melody floats like a simple folk song, capturing the spirit of this manger scene. The appearance of the traditional carol Venite Adoremus offers a moment of sincere worship. In silence deep as snowfall, Mary rests at last. Joseph holds her close with tender grace. Kneeling at the manger, their hearts begin to sing, lost in wonder, love and praise.
