Yesterday was the second night of the Feast of Dedication:
Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has given to us holidays, customs and seasons for gladness and for the glory of
Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord,
the light of the world.
We then talked about the story of Maccabees, which we had read the night before, recounting the miracles that God had provided the Jewish people during battle and during the rededication of the Temple. Then, we read parts of Luke 1 - the miracle of Mary's conception with Jesus, and the story of his birth: "And the angel said to Mary, 'Do not be afraid. You have found favor with God. You will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you shall name him Jesus. The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of God will overshadow you and for that reason the Holy child shall be called the Son of God."
For nothing is impossible with God.
Luke 1:37
We also read the children's book The First Night.
