The Symbols of Christmas Are Reminders of God's Solidarity

"Keep in mind that the symbols of Christmas, like shepherds and sheep for instance, are not simply cute, romantic adornments of a mystical event. They are reminders of God’s unflinching solidarity with working people. Even the angels join in deep solidarity with working people as they announce Jesus's birth to shepherds rather than large landowners or political and religious leaders." P. 107, Unified We Are a Force
