Your Nativity O Christ our God has dawned to the world the light of understanding, for by it those who worship the stars were taught by a star to adore You the Sun of Righteousness and to know You the dawn from above, O Lord, glory to You. - Tropar of the Nativity
Christ is born, therefore glorify Him. Christ is come from heaven, go to meet Him. Christ is on earth, arise to Him. Sing to the Lord all the earth and with merry spirits, all ye people praise His birth for He is glorified.
