Amira put on a Christmas pageant in a small church in Potchefstroom just before leaving for the Netherlands. The date was 7 December 2022. The girl singing with Amira is named Katherine. Fourteen years old, Katherine was invited to come up and sing Panis Angelicus with Amira as a duet. Amira shows her wonderful sweetness toward others at the end, giving Katherine not just a needed thumbs up but then spontaneously walking over and leading her in a curtsey. I have seen Amira do this sort of thing many times before with other new singers. She does not just sing Christmas songs at Christmas, but lives the Christianity that such songs imbibe.
The words to Panis Angelicus translate into English as:
The angel's bread becomes the bread of men
The heavenly bread ends all symbols
Oh, miraculous thing!
The body of the Lord will nourish
The poor, poor, and humble servant
The poor, poor, and humble servant
