The Nativity according to the Flesh of Our Lord, God and Saviour Jesus Christ

Thy Nativity, O Christ our God, 
hath shone forth the light of wisdom upon the world;
for therein those who worship the stars have been taught by a star
to worship Thee, the Sun of Righteousness,
and to know Thee, the Dayspring from on high. 
O Lord, glory be to Thee!
