And in the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields & keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them & the glory of the Lord shown around them & they were terribly frightened. And the angel said to them, “do not be afraid for behold I bring you good news of great joy which shall be for all the people, for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you - you will find a baby wrapped in clothes & lying in a manger. (taken from Luke-2:8~12)
