Introduction
These passages tell the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. They begin with prophecies from the Book of Isaiah in the Old Testament, and then we hear from the Gospels accounts of Jesus’s birth itself, and the events leading up to it. The collection ends with a brief extract from St Paul’s letter to the Christians of Philippi in Greece.

The Prince of Peace
Isaiah 9:2, 6-7
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
