LAST WORDS - And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone round, and they were filled with fear. The angel said, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
