A Journey To Bethlehem Comments

i wonder what kind of cheese they were selling. i can't help it, Valsa; you know how much i like food (and women; but i didn't touch mary!) , including cheese, especially on pizza! With tender concern, Joseph joked, To ease the strain on Mary’s face......... ........i don't recall the bible mentioning jokes, but i wouldn't be surprised. what a nice husband! - - - - - - - - - - all joking aside, this stanza is my favorite so far: Under the gaze of tethered hosts In veiled privacy of the midnight gloom She gave birth to a radiant child, The great Redeemer to all Mankind............. are the hosts the animals who are sharing their haven? i believe hosts is also used in the bible to refer to angels. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - this poem was not altogether stressful for this former good christian and current agnostic/atheist. yeah, i kinda liked it. and i am reminded of the hard x-mas candy we christian kids got if we attended midnight service on x-mas eve. i think it was midnight. thanks for sharing. don't forget to also read the private message i am about to send about this poem. :) bri

Description of first Christmas is amazingly beautiful and brings a divine joy.

A fine dedication to this sacred scene.

A really wonderful poem, the journey is a hard one, but one that has to be done. A fantastic poem.

Very well said, mellow words.

Beautiful poem. You took us on a wonderful journey to Bethlehem. Enjoyed reading it. Fantastic write. Loved it.

Under the gaze of tethered hosts In veiled privacy of the midnight gloom She gave birth to a radiant child, The great Redeemer to all Mankind Brilliant!

The arduous journey to Bethlehem is beautifully rendered in a timely poem. Merry Christmas to all.

You create Mary and Joseph's journey with spellbinding lines that paint such a vivid picture that shines so bright! Thank you for sharing.

The Christmas Story reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas. Good one Valsa.

I am greatly HONOURED Pat! Thank you so much for the wonderful comments, coming from the generosity of your heart! !

Talk about putting the frosting on the cake! You have so poignantly told and elaborated on the greatest story ever told. I felt that you truly take the readers with you on this journey telling the turn of events that lead up to the birth of the Saviour of the world. A highly deserve 10+++ on this very excellent write! You took me there.

The resubmission is justified and it is a true tribute paid to the infant Jesus who was born after the haunting spells of Mary`s pregnancy and plight. I would rather ask you to remind Jesus of his promise of final redemption. Excellent diction and fine rendering..
