Christ is Born!
Isaac Lewis,What strange deeds are seen in this strange and wondrous Childbirth! He that is enthroned with the Father in the highest is born, and He reclines in a manger of senseless beasts. How is the Untouchable One swaddled, how in a cave while omnipresent? Let us people shout: Behold, the King of Israel is come to us β even Christ.
