Second Day of the Nativity of our Lord


Commemorated on December 26


On the day after the Nativity of Christ we celebrate the Synaxis of the Most Holy Theotokos, and come together to give her glory and praise. This is the second day of the three day Winter Pascha.


Troparion - 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 - 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!
