It was the angels who announced it to the shepherds.
Gabriel came and announced to Mary that she would be the mother of Jesus. He also announced Jesus' birth to the shepherds. Gabriel spread the word of Jesus' arrival. This story continues to be at the center of Christianity and is retold at every Christmas.
The biblical account (Luke 2:8-15) does not provide the name of the angel who announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds.
Angels announced the resurrection of Jesus (Mark 16:1-8)
God's angels announced the birth of Jesus to shepherds who were watching over their flocks by night. (Luke 2:10,11)
After Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, the shepherds were the first to visit him, according to the New Testament. The angels announced the birth to the shepherds, who then went to see Jesus in the manger.
The Feast of the Annunciation, when the Angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would give birth to Jesus. Hope this helped :)
------------------------ In Matthew's Gospel, the angel announced the coming of Jesus only to Joseph. Given the context, the account would not make sense if he also announced the coming of Jesus to Mary. In Luke's Gospel, the angel Gabriel announced the coming of Jesus only to Mary. Given the context, the account would not make sense if he also announced the coming of Jesus to Joseph. This difference reflects the independence of the two nativity stories from each other.
