Dear brothers and sisters!

Today we extend our festive greetings to you all as we celebrate the Nativity of our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ!

We humbly ask the Lord’s blessing upon you for a joyous, peaceful and grace-filled festive season and new year.

Christ is born! Glorify Him!

Hymns from the Feast
Tropar
Thy Nativity, O Christ our God, have shone to the world the Light of wisdom! For by it, those who worshiped the stars, were taught by a Star to adore Thee, the Sun of Righteousness, and to know Thee, the Orient from on High. O Lord, glory to Thee!

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!

Your servant in Christ Fr. Michael and the Church Council
