May God's blessings fill your soul today as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ!
"And suddenly, with the Angel a multitude of the host of heaven chanted, 'Glory to God in the highest heaven and upon earth, peace to all mankind by the eternal divine good will,' and sang: 'O God of the Fathers, You are blessed.'" - Saint Kosmas, First Canon of the Nativity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Ode 7
"I see here a strange and paradoxical mystery. For, behold, the grotto is heaven; cherubic throne is the Virgin; the manger a grand space in which Christ our God the uncontainable reclined as a babe; Whom in extolling do we magnify." - Saint Kosmas, First Canon of the Nativity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Ode 9
