The Adoration of the Shepherds

Divine light illuminates the darkness as the shepherds kneel in adoration of the infant Christ. In the distance, on the moonlit hillside, is the tiny scene of the angels telling the shepherds of the Saviour's birth. Cherubs overhead carry a scroll with the joyful words Gloria in Eccelsis Deo (Glory to God in the highest).
