But Mary was silent, and kept all these things in her heart to think about and to pray about. As for the shepherds they went back to their flocks praising God. When the Holy Child was eight days old his parents called His name Jesus, as the angel had commanded, and they dedicated him to the Lord.
To his mind, Renovales could produce nothing but masterpieces and in his blind admiration he even went so far as to rave naively over the easel pictures he painted for his impresario.
