Some key figures of the Nativity start with S, Shepherds, Star and Stable. The angels appear to the shepherds and they follow the star over the stable in Bethlehem to worship the Baby Jesus. Such wondrous happenings in such a humble place. The Shepherd plays such a prominent role in the Jesus’ teaching, even calling himself “The Good Shepherd.”
The O Antiphons begin today, and the first is O Wisdom, or the Latin O Sapientia.
