Christ is Born! Glorify Him!
“Fear not for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior; which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger” (Luke 2:11-12).
Hymns of the Feast
Your birth, O Christ our God, dawned the light of knowledge upon the earth. For by Your birth those who adored stars, were taught by a star, to worship You, the Sun of Justice and to know You, Orient from on High. O Lord, glory to You.
Today, the Virgin bears Him who is transcendent, and the earth presents the cave to Him who is beyond reach. Angels, along with shepherds glorify Him. The Magi make their way to Him by a star. For a new child has been born for us, the God before all ages.
Καλα Χριστουγεννα!
Merry Christmas Everyone!

I do believe that last greek phrase is Merry Christmas everyone. I recognize the Cristos but the Kala has left me.
Yeah, it has been awhile so my Greek is rusty. Who am I kidding? It was never very strong.
