Opening conversation:
(thank you, TG)
Boy - What are you reading?
Girl - Read to us too.
Older girl, reading - The
time had come for Mary to give birth. The holy travelers had wandered
for a long time, seeking shelter, but meanwhile, night fell, and they
decided to spend the night in the outskirts of the city, in a cave where
shepherds sheltered in bad weather, and in these conditions, in a cold
cave, took place the greatest event in the lives of all people. On this
holy night was born the God-man, Jesus Christ, the Savior of all the
world. The holy virgin Mary swaddled the baby and laid him in a manger, a
feeding trough for cattle. That night, shepherds were pasturing their
flocks in the fields, when suddenly like lighting stood before them a
radiant shining angel, and the shepherds were very afraid, but the angel
of God said - Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great
joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the
city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. Go to the cave and
you will find the baby lying in a manger.

------- Better English -------
1. In the night garden cool and bright,
Stands our peaceful home.
An angel passes, white wing
Flashes outside the window
--Chorus--
In a grotto a donkey eats oats,
In a creche lays the Christ,
The donkey foal reaches its nose toward Him,
The star gazes into darkness.
2. Mary holds the Son in her arms,
Joseph warms the tea.
Then the angel told them of the shepherds:
"They are coming now, greet them!"
--Chorus--
3. The Magi bring to Him their own gifts;
Following after in their wake,
Long-legged camels come;
The star gives them light.
--Chorus--
