Shepherds wore yarmulkes?

Never did see any depiction of an angel wearing one either.

Why not a menorah without lights? Why not a manger without a baby? Why (not) a world where lighted menorah candles and luminous babys in mangers must be concealed within private homes? So sad to read about this ridiculous squabbling incited by self-centered atheists ...Shepherds wore yarmulkes?...Never did see any depiction of an angel wearing one either.

Yes, a stable and a candelabra, which make as much sense as a "Holiday Tree". I'd guess shepherds did at the time. In fact the word yarmulke is thought to be aramaic, they're kippahs in Hebrew. I don't see why angels would wear them.
