“But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.”
The story behind this colouring sheet
After the shepherds had come and gone, the stable became quiet again.
Mary held her baby close. Joseph looked after them both. They knew that this little baby was God's own Son — the Saviour the whole world had been waiting for.
So much had happened: an angel's visit, a long journey, a baby born among animals, and shepherds arriving in the night with amazing news about angels!
The Bible says that Mary treasured all these things and thought about them deeply in her heart. She never forgot that first Christmas night.
