Publisher's Synopsis
The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a book that compiles the meditations of Anne Catherine Emmerich, a German mystic and stigmatist who lived in the 18th and 19th centuries. The book focuses on the birth of Jesus Christ, as described in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, and includes Emmerich's detailed visions and insights into the events surrounding the Nativity.The book begins with Emmerich's account of the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary to announce that she would conceive and bear a son. It then follows Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem, where Jesus is born in a stable. Emmerich describes the visit of the shepherds and the Magi, as well as the flight of the Holy Family to Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod.Throughout the book, Emmerich provides rich descriptions of the people, places, and events surrounding the Nativity. She also reflects on the spiritual significance of these events and their relevance to the Christian faith. The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the birth of Jesus and its significance for believers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
