On the 8th day of Christmas...

...the Bowers gave to me:

"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude

of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on

earth peace, good will toward men.

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away

from them into heaven, the shepherds said one

to another, let us go now even unto Bethlehem,

and see this thing which is come to pass,

which the Lord hath made known unto us.

And they came with haste, and found Mary,

and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

And when they had seen it, they made known

abroad the saying which was told them

concerning this child.

And all the that heard it wondered at those

things which were told them by the shepherds.

But Mary kept all these things and

pondered them in her heart.

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising

God for all the things that they had heard

and seen, as it was told unto them." Luke 2: 13-20
