Came across this here while I was browsing around. It bears an echo of the Polish Christmas hymn Dzisiaj w Betlejem.

Two images that struck me were the image of Mary and Joseph wandering through today’s busy streets and the image of Mary cradling the Eucharistic bread – very nice.

Here is the English translation.

“Beautiful night, peaceful night,
A star is shining above a cave,
In the cave mother is sleeping
An angel is cherishing Jesus.

Angels are singing,
Shepherds are playing,
Angels are singing,
Sages are revealing themselves:

What the people have been waiting for,
What prophets have been prophesying,
And now the world responds,
The world responds and declares;
Our Saviour, Christ is born
for the salvation of all of us.

Alleluia, Alleluia.
Lord have mercy!”
