the azure heavens; and with its light, it goes in search of adorers, to say

to the whole world, with its mute twinkling: “The One who has come to
save you is born. Come to adore Him and to know Him as your

But human ingratitude! among many, only three individuals paid

attention, and heedless of the sacrifices, put themselves on the way to
