when I saw the figure of reading, I thought the story was some problem in the church, but as the title mentioned to Christmas, I suppose the story had to do with some miracle happened and this special date.
reading perhaps had the good fortune of a child who received a great gift for Christmas.
4. Read the article and describe in as much detail as possible what you understand of it.
The story tells of a miracle that happened at Christmas, there was a very famous church, which was visited by important people who preached, but now this famous old church was in charge of this church is a young couple of husbands, the man was the pastor of the church.
one day there was a great storm which destroyed part of the church just behind the altar, the pastor and his wife cleaned the church very sad, but they could not do anything with the hole that caused such a storm.
and there was very little for Christmas Eve and they found any solution for that hole, they attended an auction, the pastor bought a large canvas and thought put to good use, they did not spend much money._ When they reached the church, the pastor covered the hole with fabric that gave a nice view of the altar. Then the pastor got quieter and finish the Christmas sermon.
The day of Christmas Eve when the husband and wife opened the door of the church observed a woman in the cold, the pastor went to her and asked: what do you do in the cold? , She replied, that he had come for work but not hired, the pastor invited her to church, when she came to watch the fabric was in the hole, and found some initial play, the pastor will surprised wonder what was in that fabric and the woman said that this fabric is present from her husband, who has long not seen, because they were separated by problems in his country, and that she tried to get it but was told it was dead.
the pastor told him to take the material, but she didn´t want.
when He finished the Christmas sermon all very happy and surprised by the beauty of the fabric, he congratulated the pastor, when a man of medium height approached him and said, what a coincidence that cloth is equal to which I gave my wife when we lived in Venice, the pastor heard this he decided to go to look for the woman.
when the pastor heard the man, he decided to look for the woman, and found her he could muster was a great miracle of Christmas.
