The city of the prophets, O Bethlehem, rejoice. For in thee, the second Adam, Christ, was born in order to return the former Adam from earth into paradise; in order to destroy his judgement of death saying “O Adam, you were earth so you will return to earth”.

The souls of all men rejoice, are glad and glorify Christ the king, with the angles, crying out and saying; “Glory to God in the heavens, and peace on earth; his goodwill towards mankind”.

He who was born in the city of David, our saviour, Jesus Christ, has set free Adam and Eve. Ask for us Holy.

You, the true light who shines for all mankind living in the world, because of your love for mankind, you came into this world, and all creation rejoiced at your coming. You saved Adam from his error, and set free Eve from the suffering of death. And you gave us the spirit from which we shall be born. We blessed you with your angles. Ask for us Holy.
