Please continue to watch Part 2. Now, we would like to invite you to enjoy a dance performance by our Aulacese (Vietnamese) Association members accompanied by the song “Cave of Bethlehem” composed by Hải Linh. “We love you. On a cold, wintry night, Christ was born in a stone cave, the donkeys’ manger. In the cave of Bethlehem, brilliant light radiated forth And in the air angels were singing Music was played with songs resonating from afar Here the Holy Christ came to Earth for us Let’s quicken to Bethlehem, where Jesus Christ was humbly born. In the middle of the night, celebrating the birth of Christ to the world The One who brings blessings to suffering beings In the cave of Bethlehem, angels are singing The Lord is glorified, and humans are at peace In the cave of Bethlehem, shepherds are gathering Singing with love and sincerity. Today Jesus Christ was born on Earth The One who brings blessings to suffering beings In the cave of Bethlehem, warmed by the donkey’s breath Dissolving the cold of night and warming God’s beloved Son In the cave of Bethlehem, angels are singing The Lord is glorified, and humans are at peace In the cave of Bethlehem, shepherds are gathering Singing with love and sincerity.” Next, please enjoy the play “Environmental Protection for Christmas” brought by young initiates from Taoyuan, Formosa (Taiwan). “But, I meant to say we should bring steel cups or containers for our meal. (Why?) Because Master taught us to be vegan, go green to save the planet! Refrain from using disposable utensils, such as disposable chopsticks, laminated paper bags, and plastic bags. Yes, they increase waste and add burden to the Earth. Yes. Together let’s be vegan, be vegan, go green, go green to save the planet.” The next program is “Silent Night” presented by initiates from the Taichung Center, Formosa (Taiwan). “Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright. Round yon virgin mother and child. Holy infant so tender and mild. Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night, holy night, Shepherds pray at the sight. Glory streams from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia, Christ the Savior is born! Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love’s pure light. Radiant beams from Thy holy face with dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.”
