The Reason for the Season at the Courthouse

 

The streets and the courthouse at Logan, Ohio are decorated every year by volunteers who string thousands of lights.
This Nativity has grazed the courthouse for many years.

And she brought forth her first born Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were shepherds in the fields watching over their flocks by night. And behold and an angel of the Lord appeared and said to them “Do not be afraid, for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy. For there is born unto you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord”. “And this will be a sign unto you; you will find the Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger”.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying;
”Glory to God in the highest. And on earth peace, goodwill toward all men”.
The shepherds said “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass.” And they came in haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger.
Luke 2: 1-20.

For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.

And when they came into the house they saw the young Child with Mary His mother and fell down and worshiped Him.
And when they opened their treasures they presented to Him: gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Wise Men Still Seek Him.
