Luke 1:11 Douay-Rheims

And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the alter of incense.

Origen

c. A.D. 184–253 Patristic

For when a just man is born into the world, the authors of his birth rejoice; but when one is born who is to be as it were an exile to labour and punishment, they are struck with terror and dismay.
