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!
