That evening, while Simon is far from his fellow shepherds, the shepherds hear the angelic announcement of the birth of the Lamb of God, immediately heading to Bethlehem. Full of joy, Simon is miraculously healed as he follows, leaving his staff behind. The shepherds arrive and witness the birth of the Messiah.
