@thechurchmouse I would have thought the Bible saying nothing about an innkeeper, a donkey, not really a ‘stable’, probably staying with distant family and she didn’t give birth as soon as she arrived etc … would be shocking enough.
If you really want to do your sunrise service correctly, only the women should show up early and then come back to tell the men about it later.
If it's good enough, the men will come running to the next service.
