A Meeting Place for Evangelicals, Reformed, and Orthodox Christians
Today Christ is born in Bethlehem of the Virgin.
Today the Beginningless doth begin, and the Word becometh incarnate.
The powers of heaven rejoice, and earth is glad with mankind.
The Magi do offer presents, and the shepherds with wonder declaim.
As for us, we shout ceaselessly, crying,
Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace,
good-will towards men.
(John of Damascus)
From Divine Prayers and Services, p. 409.
Today is born of the Virgin him who holdest all creation in the hollow of his hand.
He whose essence is untouchable is wrapped in swaddling clothes as a babe.
Hours of the Nativity
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Robert Arakaki
Christ is Born! Glorify Him!
“He lay in a manger, a child newly born: tiny in body, abject in poverty. But in this Child something great lay hidden, of which these [the three wise men], the first-fruits of the Gentiles, had learned, not from earthly rumor, but from heavenly revelation. Hence they have seen His Star in the East. They announce, yet they ask; they believe, and yet they seek to know: as though prefiguring those who walk by faith, yet still desire to see.” ––Blessed Augustine
