Trumpeting Angels fontanini nativity set story.
The trumpeting angels were always the best of friends. The two angels were easily recognized, for one wore robes of sunset pink, the other dressed in sky blue. The friends were renowned for their sweet duets, played on pure silver trumpets for the glorification of the Lord and the enjoyment of all of the other angels. As a special symbol of their friendship, the angels hung matching white banners from their trumpets, the fringe gently swaying with each note.
Honored for their musical ability, the trumpeting angels were often asked to lead the orchestra with the first few notes of a song. At the beginning of a practice session, the orchestra leader Temira said, “Lift up your instruments, and lift up our hearts.” The trumpeting angels were always happy to comply.
One day the orchestra members were called together to hear an exciting announcement. The Lord was preparing to send his Son to live among His people. A jubilee of heavenly music was planned for this monumental event. Every sweet, angelic voice would sing; every angel with a musical instrument would play.
“Who can explain the importance of our newest assignment?” asked Temira.
The trumpeting angel in pink stood and spoke. “The Lord has commanded that we appear to the shepherds in the hills of Bethlehem. These shepherds might fear us. They have never seen even one angel before, much less a sky filled with them.”
Then the angel in blue continued, “We will fill their hearts with the joy of our music. Their fear will be replaced with love, and then we will tell the shepherds about the Savior.”
“Wonderful!” said Temira with a smile. Honored to be part of the jubilee, all of the orchestra members planned to practice their parts to perfection. The trumpeting angels hurried away, discussing the duet that would start the concert.
Finally, the evening came when the Lord’s Son was born, in a tiny stable in the city of Bethlehem. According to the plan, the angels would appear first to the shepherds in the hills outside the little village.
The entire host of musical angels stationed themselves in the dark night sky. On cue, the trumpeting angels lifted their instruments and played the first few notes of the world’s most glorious concert. As their music filled the sky, the shepherds looked up in amazement. Section by section, the heavenly orchestra joined in, then the choir added their sweet voices. The trumpeting angels’ hearts were filled with the awesome glory of God, thrilled and humbled to take part in the greatest adventure of all time.
