Today the Virgin gives birth to the Transcendent One, and the earth offers a cave to the Unapproachable One! Angels, with shepherds, glorify Him! The wise men journey with the star! Since for our sake the Eternal God is born as a little child (Kontakion).
Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; let those who hate Him flee from before His face! Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life. (Troparion).
