“Rest in peace, my little One”
Says the Mother to her Son
Blessed is this Holy Night
God’s Humanity in sight
Kings and shepherds witness here
Christ the Child, now held so dear
Fairest Love His Mother shows
Boundless Mercy He bestows
This first night outside the womb
Till His “last” inside the tomb
Mary, faithful, by His side
Stays forever to abide
Inspiration: Seeing two images near each other: one with Mary tucking in Jesus in the manger, the other with Mary tucking in Jesus in the tomb
