Merry Christmas Eve, dear readers. May you be blessed on this holy night.
Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard.
Do not be afraid, Marry; you have found favor with God.
Do not be afraid. I bring good news that will cause great joy to all people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.
