Orthodox Quote for December 26
“He has come upon earth, He Who in the beginning created us from earth and breathed His Divine breath into us; He has come Who ” giveth to all life, and breath, and all things”; He has come, He Who by a single word called all things visible and invisible from non-existence into existence…He has come, He Whom the innumerable hosts of Angels continually serve with fear and joy. And in what humility has He come ! He is born of a poor Virgin, in a cave, wrapped in poor swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger.”
(St. John of Kronstadt in ‘My Life in Christ’)
