At the Going Down of the Sun - Elspeth Young

While in the Old World angels rejoiced and told the good news of the birth of the Savior, the Book of Mormon records that in the New World prophets had foretold a whole night of light in heavenly commemoration of His birth.

“And it came to pass that the words which came unto Nephi were fulfilled, according as they had been spoken; for behold, at the going down of the sun there was no darkness; and the people began to be astonished because there was no darkness when the night came.”
