«H Parthenos Symeron» (Kontakion of Christmas - third tone)
St. Romanus the Melodist.
On this day the Virgin beareth the Transcedent in Essence, to the Unapproachable the earth doth offer a small cave. Angel join in choiring with shepherds in giving glory, with a star the Magi travel upon their journey, for our sakes is born a young Child, He that existed before the ages as God.
