"In Bethlehem in the grotto where Christ was born, a light shines into the darkness. The light is meant to serve, as light serves for so many religions and philosophies, as a symbol of truth and love and hope ... hope that even in a dark season, we may begin to see the world bending towards the light."
-- Charles Kuralt, from The Jazz Nativity
