| There is no doubt that the festival commemorating the birth of the Savior will evoke deep religious feelings in us. It is perhaps because of this that Christmas has remained a major source of inspiration for poets through generations. |

Through their religious Christian poems, time and again they have celebrated the festive and holy occasion of the advent of the Prince of Heaven on this earth and have constantly urge us to recognize and discover the magic and the mystery surrounding our Holy Father. Here is Christmas Carnivals providing a broad overview on the religious Christmas poems.
In simple language and lucid style, Winifred Cannon's Bethlehem and Cavalry beautifully juxtaposes Christ's birth and his death. In one stanza it describes how Mother Mary admires the tender face of her new born "king" and "tucks" in the covers, while in the other she helplessly but bravely looks on the pale face of her son and sees the nails being "tucked" in ruthlessly into her body. |

The Gift of God is another religious poem, which beautifully describes the Jesus not through any apparent descriptions, but by the wonder and admiration that are expressed by the ones fortunate to behold his heavenly glory. The Three Kings builds on the old Christian tradition, which believes that three kings traveled over great distance from different parts of the earth, and guided by the same star reached Bethlehem. Christmas Madonna celebrates motherhood of Mary, the "pure Maiden" and "Virgin white", whose lap is the throne to the King of the world. The Stable, Nativity Song, and The First Christmas are some of the other deeply religious poems.
