It\u2019s the feast itself. It\u2019s the incarnation. The Son of God becomes a human son. Christ became a human person.

This is the act that casts far away the notion of \u2018religion\u2019 , because \u2018religion\u2019 is the creation of God by us humans, whereas what we have here is the revelation of God to us. With this incarnation, the path to heaven, which was blocked, is open again and our bridge of communication with God has been rebuilt. \u201c<br \/>\n(Archimandrite Iakovos Kanakis in Pemptousia.org)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10725\" src=\"http:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/SfintirePantocrator-46-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/SfintirePantocrator-46-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/SfintirePantocrator-46-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/SfintirePantocrator-46-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/SfintirePantocrator-46-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/SfintirePantocrator-46.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWhat is the Christmas spirit, then?
