Luke 3:21 - When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, «You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.»
Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being as was supposed the son of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Janna, the son of Joseph, the son of Mattathiah, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, the son of Maath, the son of Mattathiah, the son of Semei, the son of Joseph, the son of Judah, the son of Joannas, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmodam, the son of Er, the son of Jose, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonan, the son of Eliakim, the son of Melea, the son of Menan, the son of Mattathah, the son of Nathan, the son of David, the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Cainan, the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.
Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness.

And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.
So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.
Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem,
because he was of the house and lineage of David,
to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.
So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.
And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.
Then the angel said to them, «Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.»
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
«Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!»

We knell with the tribes and clans for the sun of charity. We knell for the baby born in Bethlehem, for the baby born in cave, for the King of Glory.

John wrote: “At the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word was God.” The Word became flesh the way He wanted it to be.
Therefore, cursed is the man who does not believe, since there is no separation between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Glory to God, His Son and the Holy Spirit.
In this day when the Son of God was born, heaven, earth and angels rejoiced singing glory for the Most High. Angels chant glory to God and peace prevailed on earth.
The shepherds and Magi presented offerings. People and tribes glorified the Lord. Hallelujah for the Redeemer.

I heard blessed Paul say that if someone should come and preach to you any other gospel besides the one we preached to you, even if he is an angel from heaven, let him be accursed,
and that are different teachings arise on all sides. Blessed is the one who starts and ends with God's teaching.
Glory to God the Uppermost, and peace on earth for kind people. We praise You, we bless You we bow before You singing Your glory. (thrice)

God appeared, scattered the darkness and took its place.
God appeared, scattered the darkness and took its place.
The creator of creation fulfilled his words. The most precious gift is His love and peace.
For us, his peace is the most precious gift, His love and His words for the whole of creation.
God appeared, scattered the darkness and took its place.
Glory to Your birth, the Son of the Most High, You became a man through the Virgin Mary.
Through her child, creation was sanctified; the darkness of delusion was consumed and resolved.

I am dark, but lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, Like the tents of Kedar, Like the curtains of Solomon. Do not look upon me, because I am dark, Because the sun has tanned me.
Saviour of the world will rise like the sun, and come down into the womb of the Virgin as the showers upon the grass.

Oh the tunes, singer, sing to us the song of the ouds*!
Oh oh oh, the song of the ouds, oh sing to us, oh oh…
Give us joy, us who are drinking together,
Oh oh oh, us who are drinking together, oh count us in, oh oh…
Your hair and forehead and cheeks are like the night and the day,
Oh oh oh, like the night and the day, oh and the cheeks, oh oh…

Graceful she was when she arrived,
beauty and glory stepped aside;
my beloved is mesmerizing,
and although I would sacrifice my soul for her,
is she willing to love me back?
She imprisoned me in a garden beyond mountains by the way she looks at me,
She seemed like a proud tree branch
that leans towards its roots after hearing love songs, and achieving richness.
I am dazzled by my promises and my confusions,
I have no one to ask for mercy, but you, you .. the queen of love.

Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done
in earth, as it is in heaven:
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive them that trespass against us;
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil;
For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen.
