Shepherds.
When people think of the Nativity, the Holy Family and the three Wise Men are often thought of. Also, the angel who announced Jesus birth. But who did the angel announce the birth of Christ to? The shepherds. The shepherds were said to be out in the field attending to their herd of sheep when a bright star shone bright in the sky. Then an angel appeared before them and said to not be afraid for their newborn king had been born. Some of the more infamous shepherds are Gabriel, Matthew and Micah.

Gabriel.
Gabriel was a young boy who liked to daydream. He did not care much for tending sheep. He spent his days daydreaming of faraway places. His mother would pack his lunch, and when he would set out the food to eat, he would pretend he was eating a glorious feast. One day he came skipping down a slope, pretending to be a bird. The flock was being walked to a different grassland to be fed. Before he knew it, he heard a thud and turned around to see a baby lamb wedged between a rock. Apparently, the lamb had been following Gabriel, and not the rest of the sheep. Gabriel pulled the little lamb from the rock and hoisted him on his shoulders. Gabriel went and followed the flock. When they stopped to set up camp, Gabriel put the little lamb down next to him. He checked the lambs legs out and found nothing wrong. The little lamb was dazed, but he stood up and joined the rest of the flock. To view our entire Christmas Nativity Scene. For more Christmas Decorations Ideas.
