Carved Angels and Open Bible
The left-hand inscription is from Isaiah 9:2 (1618 Gustaf II Adolf translation): "The People who walked in darkness have seen a great light, those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined." This is the traditional lesson read at Christmas morning dawn (Matins Julotta). The right-hand inscription is: "Glory to God in the highest" - the song of the angels to the shepards (Luke2:14) that is the usual canticle sung at every Swedish High Mass. |
