CHRIST IS BORN!

GLORIFY HIM!

GOD IS WITH US, UNDERSTAND ALL YE NATIONS

AND SUBMIT YOURSELVES FOR GOD IS WITH US!

YOUR NATIVITY, O CHRIST OUR GOD

HAS SHONE TO THE WORLD THE LIGHT OF WISDOM.

FOR BY IT, THOSE WHO WORSHIPPED THE STARS,

WERE TAUGHT BY A STAR TO ADORE YOU,

THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TO KNOW YOU,

THE ORIENT FROM ON HIGH,

O LORD, GLORY TO THEE! (Troparion)

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 A STAR!

SINCE FOR OUR SAKE THE ETERNAL GOD

WAS BORN AS A LITTLE CHILD! (Kontakion)

May God bless you all abundantly and may all of you

Join us at St. John’s to thank Him whole-heartedly!
