“Everyone knows the songs, especially at Christmas,
and becomes in that hour another teller
of the story embedded in them.
What child is this? A very profound question.
Christmas…is so full of church pageant and family custom
that it is entirely possible to forget how the stories told…
did indeed rupture history
and leave the world changed…”
— marilynne robinson
