The world literally stopped, at His birth . . .

During our class on Iconology/Iconography this evening, Fr. Peter briefly mentioned James' (the brother of our Lord) firsthand account of Jesus' birth.

Of course, I knew there were writings from the early church out there - that had not made it into the church canon, but my interest was pique enough that I took the time to look it up online when I got home. I love how the other writings of the saints complement what I've always known from Scripture. And, I can't believe how much I've been missing all these years:
