Christmastime At Greccio

The gifts of the Almighty were multiplied there at Greccio, and a wonderful vision was seen by a virtuous man. For he saw a little child lying in a manger lifeless, and he saw the holy man of God go up to it and rouse the child as from a deep sleep. This vision was not unfitting, for the Childe Jesus had been forgotten in the hearts of many; but, by the working of his grace, he was brought to life again through his servant St. Francis and stamped upon their fervent memory. At length the solemn night celebration was brought to a close, and each one returned to his home with holy joy.
