To all out there, my warmest thanks to you for coming and visiting my little blog. I've been greatly encouraged, helped, and many times amused, by the comments you have provided as I've blogged my way through the second half of the year. And I thank you for this.

Wishing you, your friends and family, and all those you remember in your hearts, a blessed, joyous and peaceful Christmas, and God's blessing be upon you in all your endeavours in 2005. See you after Christmas!

Christ is Born! Glorify Him!



Troparion in tone 4
Your Nativity, O Christ our God,
Has shone to the world the Light of wisdom!
For by it, those who worshipped the stars,
Were taught by a Star to adore You,
The Sun of Righteousness,
And to know You, the Orient from on High.
O Lord, glory to You!
Kontakion in tone 3
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!
