This time, as so many other times, we had gathered to commemorate together the wonderful events that seem to precipitate, one after another, from the announcement that the Angel Gabriel, formulate you, one admired, confused, and no less frightened young name Maria. To measure in which we moved in the biblical account, is unfurled in our minds, all the characters, who remain immortalized in that Manger, that even if you have different forms, according to the feel of each one, all have acceded in the depths of our being.

As it is known, being Joseph of the House of David, was moved along with his wife to the referred place. All the inns were full of people, particular, brimming with family and guests houses, so Joseph had no alternative, to accommodate his beloved wife, making him in a manger, which would be shared with all other animals inhabiting the poultry. In these particular circumstances the child is born and is wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in the manger, the angels go and warn the shepherds who kept the vigil of their flocks, a heavenly choir announces the tidings of great joy and a new star rises and shining in the East, indicating the pilgrims Kings, with its brilliant glow, which was born the Messiah, so look forward expected by all the children of Abraham.
