Luke 2:8 In the same region there were shepherds staying out in the fields keeping watch over their flock by night.
It's a must-do reading at the Carol Service.
Today we received THIS card (it's actually a little longer than the photo)

From time to time card makers experiment with different shapes. The designer of this card plainly designs bookmarks the rest of the year, but in the busy season it's 'all hands on deck' I suppose.
Elongation offers special opportunities one might imagine. A card this long could have both Jerusalem AND Bethlehem on it. Or even Nazareth and the holy family making their long journey from left to right or whatever. Or there's the star, appearing to those wise men far away in the East.
It's a missed opportunity then, is it not? The star has already arrived (early). Instead, far away to the right we have the shepherds. That will be the shepherds that Luke told us were 'in the same region/vicinity'. Well, these shepherds aren't!
It's a mystery.
