On Christmas Eve, as it always had before the year that changed everything, the hymn began with a flicker in the dark.
The faithful breathed together, one body in the darkened center of the church, as they transferred a single flame from the tip of one white taper candle to the next. They passed it from choir members to grandparents, to parents, to children, to friends, to neighbors, to anyone who had made their way to this place, on this night, to celebrate the long-ago birth of a baby in a manger.
