Tu scendi dalle stelle
It wouldn't be Christmas without me posting a video or 2 of my favorite Christmas carol/hymn. Once again I start with this version:
As I did last year, after that bit of fun here is a more serious version. This year we have Luciano Pavarotti's version with pictures of several presepi. Italianos have a huge love for them ever since San Francesco set up the 1st presepio in the town of Greccio near Assisi, around 1220/3.

Tu scendi dalle stelle,
O Re del Cielo,
e vieni in una grotta,
al freddo al gelo.
O Bambino mio Divino
Io ti vedo qui a tremar,
O Dio Beato
Ahi, quanto ti costò
l'averci amato!
A te, che sei del mondo
il Creatore,
mancano panni e fuoco;
O mio Signore!
Caro eletto Pargoletto,
Quanto questa povertà
più mi innamora!
Giacché ti fece amor
Auguri di Buon Natale
