Dem Carry Am Go Temple

Den the sky tear open. Angels — thousands of dem — full the air from one end to the other! Their voices shake the ground like rolling thunder. "Glory to God for the highest heaven! And peace on earth to the people wey he love!" The whole sky dey on fire with light and sound.

The angels leave. The sky turn black. The shepherds sit down there, dey breath hard, dey look each other. Den one of dem talk am. "We get to go. Right now." Dem run pass inside the dark all the way go Bethlehem. Dem find Mary. Dem find Joseph. And there — for inside the feeding box — the baby. Dem...

Eight days later, dem give am name. Jesus — the exact name wey the angel give before dem even born am. Den Joseph and Mary carry am go the Temple for Jerusalem. Dem come give am to God, and dem bring sacrifice, just as the law talk.

Lk 2:13
