That is still accepted.

========================================
"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding
in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the
glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were
sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, " Fear not;
for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which
shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the
Lord." Luke 2:8-11
