The Word made flesh so ordained His manifestation that as a new-born Infant He would be known to believers, but hidden from persecutors. Already on Christmas the heavens were resplendent with the glory of God and the sound of His truth went forth to all the earth, when an array of angels appeared to the shepherds as messengers of the new-born Saviour and the guiding light began leading the Magi to adore Him.—Pope St. Leo the Great, Epiphany Homily
