I really loved the picture of the Nativity, Roy. Your words gave praise to Christ, the Lord and showed him as the Savior to which we give thanks. Praise the Prince of Peace for through him we shall be saved. Blessings, Merry Christmas, Happy New Years, Season Greetings!

This poem sounds like a song. It tells us about the birth of Jesus and how it saved us from the sin stared with the serpent and Adam and Eve. Now we have two days to especially remember Jesus' birth, life, death and resurection in Christmas and Easter.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Merry Christmas

Roy, I like how you are saying, the true meaning of Christmas is the
Birth of Our Lord Jesus. And by Jesus being born; Christ is the who'll heal an forgive sin's.

..........And the soul felt its worth................

Very nice piece Roy. Did you know the very first song broadcast over raidio was O Holy Night?

On Christmas Eve 1906, Reginald Fessenden-a 33-year-old university professor and former chief chemist for Thomas Edison-did something long thought impossible. Using a new type of generator, Fessenden spoke into a microphone and, for the first time in history, a man's voice was broadcast over the airwaves: "And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed," he began in a clear, strong voice, hoping he was reaching across the distances he supposed he would.

Shocked radio operators on ships and astonished wireless owners at newspapers were amazed as their normal, coded impulses, heard over tiny speakers, were interrupted by a professor reading the Christmas story. To those who caught this broadcast, it must have seemed like a miracle to hear a voice somehow transmitted to those far away. Perhaps they may have thought they were hearing the voice of an angel. Fessenden was probably unaware of the sensation he was causing on ships and in offices; he couldn't have known that men and women were rushing to their wireless units to catch this Christmas Eve miracle. After finishing his recitation of the birth of Christ, Fessenden picked up his violin and played "O Holy Night," the first song ever sent through the air via radio waves.

Since "O Holy Night" was first sung at a small Christmas mass in 1847, the song has been sung millions of times in churches in every corner of the world. And since the moment a handful of people first heard it played over the radio, the carol has gone on to become one of the most recorded and played spiritual songs. This incredible work, requested by a forgotten parish priest, written by a poet who would later split from the church, given soaring music by a Jewish composer, and brought to Americans to serve as much as a tool to spotlight the sinful nature of slavery as tell the story of the birth of a Savior has become one of the most beautiful, inspired pieces of music ever created. The Lord can work in amazing ways to his Word to proclaim.

    Thanks for sharing dear friend, that was an amazing story, things we take for granted now. My daughter has sung O Holy night, almost every Christmas in the two churches she?s attended for the last twenty or so years, thank you for the wonderful, wonderful review and galaxy of stars. Merry Christmas, blessings Roy

I'm not the biggest Christian in the world, but this is a beautiful poem. The greatest irony of all, that the devil's place in the world can help us all achieve salvation.

Thank you for the beautiful reminder that Jesus is the King and He came to us in a very unkingly way. But it was God's plan. He loved us that much and still does today. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!
