"Christ is born, glorify Him! Christ from heaven, go out to meet Him! Christ on earth, be exalted!"
This is how St. Gregory the Theologian began his sermon for the Feast of the Nativity in 380 A.D. He further elaborated on the true meaning of the Nativity (Christmas) celebrations by saying, “We are celebrating today the coming of God to man that we might go forth, or rather (for this is the more proper expression) that we might go back to God – that putting off the old man, we might put on the New, and that as we died in Adam, so we might live in Christ.”
With great joy and enthusiasm, we present to you, dear reader, St. Gregory’s complete masterful work on the Feast of the Nativity and what it means to us, his Festal Oration 38, in a modern and readable translation.
