Chrstimas Wish

I wish Peace and Joy to all this Christmas, and prosperity in the New Year.


"Adoration of the Magi" by Gentile da Fabriano

Once in royal David's city,
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby,
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little Child.

He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall:
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.

For He is our childhood's pattern;
Day by day, like us, He grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles, like us He knew;
And He cares when we are sad,
And he shares when we are glad.

And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle,
Is our Lord in heaven above:
And He leads His children on,
To the place where He is gone.

Kate,

Merry Christmas to you.

I saw this glorious painting while visiting the Uffizi in Florence. (Pinch me.)

So much different than looking at a print in an art history book...
