Question:
Are the shepherds at Christ’s birth considered saints, just as the Magi are?
Answer:
So far as I know, the shepherds are not named saints, but they have been honored as heroes of the Faith in some Christian communities. In Eastern Orthodox churches, the commemoration of the shepherds coincides with the Feast of the Nativity (i.e., Christmas).
