Written while Milton was still a young man, it already displays the elevated language and religious imagination that would later characterise Paradise Lost. The poem contrasts the peaceful arrival of Christ with the fading power of pagan gods and ancient religions. Combining Christian theology, classical imagery and lyrical beauty, it presents the Nativity as a moment of profound change in human history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216442900819,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421129097555,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/on-the-morning-of-christs-nativity-folio-society-659","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
