The Shepherds!

Itinerant Workers?

Today the word itinerant is usually associated with the travelling community and are seen as the lowest in most societies, but this is perhaps more son in Europe than many other parts of the world!

The shepherds were out in the field looking after the sheep, near a tree for cover and sleep, when the Angel of the Lord appeared to them and they were startled?

In the Old Testament we are told they lived in tents, since if this was winter that where they would be, moving on daily to a new place!

Genesis 47:3, Psalm 23:1, Song of Songs 1:8, Luke 2:8, 20.
