Very sacred and holy scene. This depicts the true meaning of Christmas! One of my favorite Christmas Carols is "Rockabye Jesus." I have a recording of it as sung by the poor Claire nuns, which is very, very touching. It is as if Mary is singing to her baby, Jesus. Here is a link to the melody of this lovely song. http://tinyurl.com/cqa8zru

And here are the lyrics:

'1. Rockabye Jesus sweet,
Close will I hold Thee,
As Mary's loving arms
Then did enfold Thee.
|: Rockabye Jesus,
My soul's fairest treasure,
Rockabye Jesus,
My love knows no measure. :|
2. See how the world lies
In sorrow and sadness;
Give us Thy blessing,
O bring Heaven's gladness!
|: Rockabye Jesus,
My soul's fairest treasure,
Rockabye Jesus,
My love knows no measure. :|'

I hope you will all enjoy it! I find it very lovely and touching....a most beautiful Christmas lullaby.

Another favorite Christmas carol of mine is "Once in Royal David's City" written by Cecil Francis Alexander.

Here is a link to the Boys Choir at King's College, Cambridge, and the audience singing this very lovely Christmas Carol.

So wonderful to see that the whole world hasn't lost the true spirit of Christmas. These are almost completely outlawed in America. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Have a Happy New Year.
