The Troparion hymn of the Nativity feast
“Thy Nativity, O Christ, our God, Has shown to the world the light of wisdom. For by it those who worshipped the stars, were taught by a star to adore Thee, The Sun of Righteousness; And to know Thee, the Orient from on high. O Lord, glory to Thee.”

- Kallistos Ware
