From the Church of the Nativity, Bethlemem
~~~~~~~
Holy Child of God
Held gently by his mother
Heaven came to earth
Earth behold the Child
The Word made flesh among us
Tender is the night

It should be said that my visit to the Church of the Nativity this week has left me without words to describe this place of beauty. To be where the Christ child was born, held tenderly by his mother and know as a mother what concerns she had about his growing up touched me deeply. The mother of our Savior suffered exile, hardship, and witnessed the terrible death of her Son. A true woman of courage.
