Christmas Mistery

Merry Christmas!

On the Nativity of Christ

Today the Virgin gives birth to him who is above all being,

and the earth offers a cave to him whom no one can approach.

Angels with shepherds give glory, and magi journey with a star,

for to us there has been born a little Child, God before the ages.

(Kontakion, by Romanos the Melodist - 752)

Merry Christmas

Adoration by Lorenzo di Credi

"'To all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God.' (Jn 1:12) This is the message of Bethlehem today and for ever. This is the extraordinary gift which the Prince of Peace brought into the world two thousand years ago." (John Paul II)
