Cusp-a point of transition, as from one historical period to the next;
the borders between the twelve astrological signs.
You are considered to be "on the cusp" if you were born
within a day or two of the beginning or end of any sign.

The Nativity of the Lord, Christmas, Mass at Midnight

Readings for the Mass at Midnight

 
El Greco, (Domenicos Theotokopoulos), The Adoration of the Shepherds 1570-72,

And this will be a sign for you:
you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes
and lying in a manger.
