track Gina Marzetti Noventa The shepherd boy wakes up suddenly. In heaven there is a new light: a light ever seen at that hour. The young pastor is scared to leave the fold, through the woods: it is in the open field, under a beautiful sky. From above comes the singing sweet Angels.
- such peace can only come from above - think of the shepherd boy, smiling and reassured. The doggie
, unbeknownst to him, they followed him and watch him amazed.
Here come many people and everyone, quick steps, head to a cave.
- Where do you go? - Asks the shepherd.
- Do not you know? - Answers for all, a young woman. - He was born the son of God came down here to open up the gates of Heaven.
The shepherd joined the party, and he too wants to see the Son of God Suddenly, he feels troubled all bearing a gift, only he has nothing to bring to Jesus sad and upset, he returned to his sheep. It has nothing; not even a flower, what can you give when you so poor?
The boy does not know that the gift most pleasing to Jesus is his little heart good.
Ouch! The thorns prick his bare feet. Then the shepherd stops, looks at the ground and exclaims in astonishment: - Oh, a shrub even green!
is a holly tree, glossy leaves and thorny.
The choir of angels seems to be close to the earth, there is much celebration around. How can you resist the urge to run from the Holy Child, even if you have nothing to offer?
Well, the divine shepherd will go to the hut, a branch of holly will be his gift. Here
the cave. Approaches to the happy and confused smiling child who seems to expect.
But what happens? The drops of blood from his hands, wounds from thorns, they become red balls that are placed on the green branches dell'arbusto that he took for Jesus
the way back, another surprise awaits the shepherd: in the woods, among the shining leaves dell'Agrifoglio, it's all a glowing crimson berries.
Since that night of mystery, the holly is offered as a token of good wishes to your loved ones.
