“Christ is born! Glorify Him! Christ descends from the heavens, welcome Him! Christ is now on earth, O be jubilant! Sing to the Lord, the whole earth, and sing praises to Him with joy, O ye people, for He has been exalted! Today doth Bethlehem receive Him Who sitteth with the Father for ever...the Son who was born of the Father Before all ages, and in this latter day was made incarnate of the Virgin without seed; Christ our God. I behold a strange but very glorious mystery: Heaven -- the cave; The throne of the Cherubim -- the Virgin. The manger -- the receptacle in which Christ our God, Whom nothing can contain, is lying. Today the Virgin brings forth the Supersubstantial One And the earth offers a cave to the Unapproachable One. For our sakes, God, Who is before all the ages, is born a little Child. ... They who worshipped the stars were through a star, taught to worship Thee, the Sun of Righteousness, and to know Thee, the Day-Spring from on high. Our Saviour hath visited us from on high...And we who were plunged in darkness and shadows have found the truth, For the Lord hath been born of the Virgin. Glory and praise to the One born on earth Who hath divinized earthly human nature... Today the whole creation rejoices and is jubilant, For Christ is born of the Virgin."

Amen!

May You bless all of those who read this, and may they sup with You on the last day.

It is finished, my Lord.
