Today we delve into the depths of St. John of the Cross’s poem, “A Christmas Refrain.” Join us as we explore the Virgin Mary’s journey to Bethlehem with St. Joseph for the census, carrying within her the divine Word. Reflect on the timeless message of preparation, hospitality, and the invitation to welcome Christ into our lives. We feature the translation by Discalced Carmelite friars Kieran Kavanaugh and Otilio Rodriguez, and then offer a comparison with the translation by E. Alison Peers. | Music by Sean Beeson

Breugel signed and dated the work in 1566. We notice here a detail that focuses on St. Joseph, seen leading the donkey upon which his betrothed, the Virgin Mary, is riding.
