It is so beautiful and has so many meanings, not just the actual birth. It has the angels telling the GOOD NEWS to the shepherds, who were very lowly people at that time. That's God showing firsthand how he favored the poor, lowly people of the world way before the rich, hoity-toity people. Jesus was born in a manger, in a stable! It showed right there that humility was what he was teaching us, for he himself was humbled by being born surrounded by lowly animals. Think of it, a KING, not just any king, but the KING of all KINGS, born in such an unfitting place. Of course the 3 wise men from the Orient gave Him Frankincense, gold, and myrrh. Franincense was an incense used at religious events. Gold was given as a gift to a king. Myrrh was used in preparation for embalming and death. So right there it shows that the Wisemen knew that Jesus' was a King, His life was to be short. They knew He was going to sacrifice himself for all humanity.
God bless everyone!
