“The Son of God Who became a Man for the salvation of all men is God’s gift for humankind.
That is why, the Magi from the East or the wise men bring gifts to Him, and through this they urge us humans to answer to God’s love with gifts, both material and spiritual gifts. Thus, Christmas is the feast of the gifts joyfully offered and joyfully received to cultivate goodwill among men.”
(Patriarch Daniel of Romania, 2019 homily)
