Shepherd's Field

23/12/08
Late afternoon and we entered Shepherd's Field some 3 km east of Bethleham. It was here that an Angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds who were watching their flocks of sheep that night. The angel told them of the good news that Christ the Lord was born (Luke 2:8-11).
In this area there were many caves. These caves were where the shepherds would rest together with their flock of sheep in the cold winter season. We would be experiencing Mass being said in one of these caves on Christmas eve.
