The First Christmas
Retold by Eliane Pinheiro
and Maura Hurley
Around the month of December,
children like to imagine
what happened
on the very first Christmas ever,
even before Santa Claus.
I know the story well,
for I was watching it all
from above --
in the dark sky
on the evening
of December 24th,
oh so many years ago.
I am the Star of Bethlehem.
I was requested by angels
to shine brighter than all the other
stars that night,
to tell the whole world
that a very special child
had been born to spread
goodwill and peace.
And this is the story
of the first Christmas.
All was quiet that night
as I watched the
Three Kings traveling slowly
on camelback through desert lands.
on camelback through desert lands.
Just then, I beamed brightly,
as the angels had
told me to.
The Kings noticed me
in the East.
They couldn't resist
my brilliance.
Perhaps they had heard that a
star like me
was going to show the
way to the son of God.
Traveling through the night, the Kings
met shepherds
watching over their flock.
"We are following that
incredibly beautiful star
there in the East,
to find the place
where the son of God has just been born."
where the son of God has just been born."
From there they all traveled together,
watching me, the brightest star
in the sky.
Finally, they arrived at a small
town called Bethlehem,
and saw that I was gleaming radiantly
above the barnyard of an Inn.
All was quiet and peaceful.
Their caravan
entered the barnyard
to see the tender little baby
lying in a simple
manger fluffed with hay.
Next to the baby
were Mary and Joseph,
his mother and father,
and many farm animals.
The Kings
offered the precious gifts
they'd carried from afar
for baby Jesus:
gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
The shepherds
kneeled on the
ground to pray;
they were grateful for the gift of love
and the purity
the baby brought.
Many people
offered gifts after that -
I suppose this is why
on Christmas Day,
people around the world
enjoy offering gifts
as a sign of love and hope.
And they try their best
to bring happiness to others,
as Jesus did all his life.
Now I'd like to wish you
a holiday season that shines as brightly
as the Star of Bethlehem!
