Khrystos Razhdayetsya!
To all the Good Members of the Byzantine Forum:
Blessings to all as we prepare to celebrate the Feast of the Nativity of Our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
See amid the winters snow
Born for us on earth below
See the tender lamb appears
Promised from eternal years
Hail thou ever blessed morn
Hail redemptions happy dawn
Shout for all the world to hear
Christ is born in Bethlehem!

Amen! To share with those reading the forum that have never heard. This is Kontakion we sing up to Christ's birth. Today the Virgin is on her way to the cave where she will give birth to the Eternal Word of God in an ineffable manner. Rejoice, therefore, O universe, when you hear this news, and glorify with the angels and the shepherds Him who shall appear as a newborn Babe, being God from all eternity. http://www.mliles.com/melkite/kontakionnativity.shtml

Although another Kontakion just underneath that, which is also appropriate for today (using Tone 2): As we see the One who holds the world in his hands * now wrapped in swaddling clothes in Bethlehem * let us offer our hymns in anticipation to the one who gave him birth; * for with a mother's joy she cradles to Son of God.
