RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Google Earth position & orientation – 31°42’18.86“N 35°12’39.40“E looking WSW, towards the Dead Sea 13.7 miles (22 Km) away. Bethlehem is behind the viewer & further up the hillside. The background for this scene is identical to the Luke 02 -Nativity SET01 – Scene 02 – Stable (Cave version) cartoon.
The shepherds have turbans on, to keep warm in the night air – something I didn’t give them in the cartoon showing their encounter with the angel & angelic host!
