And tomorrow is Christmas!




Still, still, still,
weil's Kindlein schlafen will.


Die Englein tun schön jubilieren,
Bei dem Kripplein musizieren,

 

 The Concert of Angels - 1534-36
 Gaudenzio Ferrari
Northern Italian painter and sculptor of the Renaissance (c.1471 - 1546)

Fresco in Santa Maria dei Miracoli, Saronno, Italy




Still, still, still,
Weil's Kindlein schlafen will.

*
Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf!
Mein liebes Kindlein schlaf!
Maria tut dich niedersingen
und ihr treues Herz darbringen....


Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf!
Mein liebes Kindlein schlaf!

Sleep - sleep - sleep! Only one more night...



...denn einmal werden wir noch wach, Heissa, dann ist Weihnacht da!

  8. A beautiful collection of images - as usual. I adore frescos and seem to be forever pointing my camera upwards when in Europe. We celebrate Christmas on 25 December which will conincide with your celebrations of 24 December. Christmas wishes et bisous.
