Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella!
Bring a torch, to the cradel run!
It is Jesus, good folk of the village.
Christ is born and Mary's calling,
Ah! Ah! Beautiful is the Mother!
Ah! Ah! Beautiful is Her Son.

It is wrong when the child is sleeping.
It is wrong to talk so loud.
Silence, all, as you, gather around,
lest your noise should waken Jesus.
Hush! Hush! See how fast He slumbers.
Hush! Hush! See how fast He sleeps.

For :icontouchedvenus:'s contest. That I won.

The English title of the carol would be "Bring A Torch, Janette, Isabella" but I think the French (original) version sounds so much better.

At :iconfala-amaris:'s insistance and because I think it would be fun, I'm doing "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" for the contest also.

PS. I :heart: Christmas time!

Wow, this picture is another step forward in quality. You got a really good feeling of light coming from the lanterns, without them feeling too harsh. Combined with the soft darkness of the background, it's a nice cheery kind of darkness.

The only changes I'd suggest would be to have made the lantern light a little warmer, and to differentiate their facial expressions more. Otherwise, though, great work!

I can most definietly see what you mean with your suggestions. I'll try them out, though I'm not sure if I'll be able to change the faces at this point...
This means so much to me! Thank you!
