And so, our tale is nearly over. We have heard of angels and shepherds, of Magi and babies, of a wicked king and a pure mother, of an old man who waited and an old woman who prayed. And what of us? How have we been changed by this story? How has its telling lifted our spirits in the dark days of our times?

The baby grows up. He is no longer the child in the manger, the infant so lowly. But perhaps it is more comfortable to leave him there, and not confront the challenge of who he is to become. Because to confront that challenge means having to grasp the very personal nature of what it all means.

For Simeon, the fulfilment of the long-awaited promise is almost here, and as Mary and Joseph bring their precious baby to the temple, good news is beginning to be revealed. And in another corner of the temple, the old woman still waits and prays.

Shepherds, gazing at the sky, astounded by what they have seen and heard. How long do they lie there, taking in what has happened before shifting their gaze to earth, to the sheep, to one another? We ponder this news afresh with them, and with Mary.

Finally when darkness falls, find a moment of stillness, a time to sit by a fire and look up at the sky. Contemplate the complexities and possibilities of the universe. Breathe deeply and feel small. Just like the shepherds.

There are dreadful deeds that must be spoken of, generation after generation, as a reminder of where fear of losing our throne can lead us. King Herod has no intention of worshipping this king in a manger, and so we witness his brutal response to his birth.
