Mary 1: What a night! An amazing wonder-filled night. A night God broke into
history and changed everything.
Mary 2: What a day! A day full of anguish and pain. A day God broke into
history and changed everything.
Mary 1: I remember looking down on my beautiful, blood-stained, newborn son
and my heart leapt with absolute joy and wonder.
Mary 2: I remember looking up at my beautiful, blood-stained son and my heart
broke into a million, painful, pieces.
Mary 1: How strange it was, that although it was night, the sky was filled with
light and glory! Heaven itself seemed to be singing unending hymns of
praise.
Mary 2: How strange it was, that although it was only mid-afternoon, the sky
was black and dark and menacing. Heaven itself seemed shocked into a
haunting silence.
Mary 1: I remember the shepherds with their humble gifts, telling excited
stories of angels proclaiming the birth of my beautiful son and I
treasured these things in my heart.
