Adoration of the Shepherds. The Gospel of Luke (2:8-20) tells
that on the night Mary gave birth to Jesus Christ, an angel announced the
Good News to the shepherds: 'Now in this same district there were shepherds
out in the field, keeping watch through the night over their flock', they
were terrified when they saw the angel of the Lord, but the angel said:
'Do not be afraid; I bring you good news, new of great joy for the whole
nation. Today there has been born to you in the city of David a deliverer
- the Messiah, the Lord.' (Luke 2:8-12). After the angel had left them,
the shepherds hurried to greet and worship the Child.
