An Incarnation Metaphor for Christmas Eve

"There is a drama in which a King, desiring to win the love of a simple country shepherd girl, appears to her as an ordinary shepherd youth. In this form, she can understand him and talk to him. He speaks of the King of the country as if he were someone else. Finally the shepherd youth weds her in royal pomp and brings her to the palace. Then, to her surprise, the shepherd girl realises that he whom she loved as a shepherd youth is the King himself; the shepherd and the King are one, and her lover makes her a queen." --Dhanjibhai Fakirbhai, Khristopanishad
