Christ is born!  Glorify Him!

Merry Christmas to all as we continue to celebrate the feast of our Savior's birth this week.  This is a fast-free week, symbolizing the joyful and celebratory character of this radiant feast, the "Winter Pascha".  May our Lord Jesus Christ, who was born in a cave and lay in a manger for our salvation, fill our hearts with the true heavenly peace and invincible joy that He came to bring us.  May our hearts always sing in prayer, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill among men!"
