Today I have been to St. Pauli church here in Malmö to listen to the Christmas Gospel of Luke, and other related texts, as well as listening to the beautiful choir singing gospels and Christmas songs. A pieceful hour, awaiting Christmas.
"In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria. And everyone went to their own town to register.
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them." (Luke 2:1-7)
Very nice! Our university does a Lessons and Carols service, this year we attended it online. It was good. Merry Christmas!
