Noel from Wikipedia

Noel (sometimes spelled nowell for the English pronunciation) refers either to the Christmas celebration or a Christmas carol. The word comes from the French word Noel meaning "Christmas" which derives from the Old French word noel, a variant of nael. The Latin origin is the word natalis ("birth").

I always loved the song, "The First Noel," but I didn't know what Noel meant. It's good to know it originates from the Latin word meaning "birth."

Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ!

Lyrics for The First Noel

I like this song!

The first Noel, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the the East, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

And by the light of that same star,
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

This star drew night to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

Then entered in those wise men three,
Full reverently upon their knee;
And offered there in his presence,
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

The Birth of Jesus

He's the reason we celebrate!

Luke 2:1-7 (NIV)

The Birth of Jesus
1.In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2.(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3.And everyone went to his own town to register.

4.So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5.He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6.While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7.and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Jesus!

God sent His Son to die for us.
That we being dead in sin, might live through Him.
