Christ is Born! Glorify Him!
Christos razhdayetsya! Slavite yoho!
Kristos rozhdaetsya! Slav'te ego!
Hristos se Rodi! Voistinu se Rodi!
Almasihu Wulidah! Famajjiduhu!


Today we celebrate the Feast of the Nativity of the Lord, He Who came to the world to restore peace and love. May we war against evil and the self, fighting with the weapons of peace. And may the Prince of Peace enter our hearts anew, and may He bring about the peace that passes all understanding.

Christ is Born! Glorify Him!

With love in the New Born King,
Abbot Tryphon
