Merry Christmas to Everyone!

God Bless you during this season.

SILENT NIGHT

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavely hosts sing alleluia;
Christ the Saviour, is born!
Christ the Saviour, is born!

Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.



HI Friends, please visit my CHRISTMAS FORUM and say HI to friends. Cheryl, Thanks for starting this wonderful forum honoring our Savior JESUS CHRIST. Merry Christmas to you,
Pat

STAR CHILD

A small star child fell to earth
With searing firebrand of birth,
Offered Holy innocence...
Giving souls a recompense,

Cloaked in flesh...divine the choosing,
Redemption...the God-child's bruising,
Earthbound for all humanity
In time and space to set men free,

Though small the star, His ember grew...
Even when darkness overthrew.
Formidable...iconoclast...
Expiation for sin at last,

Star child burning into night,
Fills our hearts with heaven's light.

Dear Cheryl, Pat and friends,

As a modest contribution to this thread, I would like to show three of the most beautiful Nativities ever painted. Actually I am bringing them over from my art forum. I hope you like them.

Note: you may click on the images for an enlarged view of them.

The first one, a little known 200 x 300 cm fresco by Sandro Botticelli painted 1476-77, is preserved at the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence (Italy). The composition of the picture, as an arch, suggests that this fresco was once in one of the lunettes in the church.



The Birth of Christ
by Sandro Botticelli


The second one is a 187 x 228 cm oil on wood by Bartolome Esteban Murillo. It was painted from 1650-55 and is treasured in the Museo del Prado, Madrid (Spain).



Adoration of the Shepherds
by Bartolome Esteban Murillo


The third one is a 151 x 213 cm oil on canvas by Charles Le Brun (painted 1689). This wonderful masterpiece may be viewed at the Musée du Louvre, Paris. Its beauty cannot be described in words.



Adoration of the Shepherds

by Charles Le Brun

Thank you and, of course, Merry Christmas to all of you!
