And lives today...

Christmas   ๐ŸŽ„  ๐ŸŽ„ ๐ŸŽ„  
And is it true, and is it true,
This most tremendous tale of all,
Seen in a stained-glass window's hue,
A Baby in an ox's stall?
The Maker of the stars and sea
Become a Child on earth for me?

No love that in a family dwells,
No caroling in frosty air,
Nor all the steeple-shaking bells
Can with this single Truth compare -
That God was man in Palestine
And lives today in Bread and Wine.

From a poem by John Betjeman
