You would expect the birth of a King to be attended by and announced to all in near and far away lands. This was the opposite of what transpired that fateful Christmas eve many years ago. Jesus, meek and humble, made His entrance into the world in the quietest ways. His arrival known only to Mary, Joseph, and the wise men who saw that clear sign in the heavens. Not born into opulence, but in a simple manger; where animals slept and ate. Born for one purpose alone; to redeem mankind. Indeed, God's love for the world is incomprehensible to our limited human minds. He sent His only Son to suffer and take on the world's sins. Would you volunteer your own flesh knowing your child would die the most painful death?
As Earth awaits to receive her King, the inhabitants go about their usual daily lives. These are a few eclipses of how we spent "Noche Buena" (Christmas Eve) preparing as best as we could. Merry Christmas and God's blessings.
