The caption for this illustration reads:And these were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. The Christian religion celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the central figure of the religion, on December 25. The birth is often referred to as "the Nativity" and the three main figures are Jesus, his mother Mary, and Mary's husband Joseph. In this 19th century depiction, an angel is shown telling shepherds to honor Jesus, who is lying in a manger. The shepherds are shown with their sheep and the star of Bethlehem lighting up the sky.
