Third Mystery: The Nativity
This mystery is featured for The Epiphany of the Lord.
“She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.”Luke 2:7
In Bethlehem the Son of God is born in poverty. Angels announce the good news to shepherds keeping watch over their flocks, and they come in haste to adore Him.
Fruit of the mystery: Poverty of spirit
