There were in the same country shepherds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were
sore afraid. But the angel said unto them, “Fear not! For, behold—I bring you
good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born
this day, in the city of David, a savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this
shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,
and 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; good will toward men.”
As a very wise person once said, having quoted this passage
from the gospel of Luke: “That’s what Christmas is all about.”
Today, in these hours before so much of the world celebrates
the birth of Jesus, we wish our readers all the blessings of Christmas.
Some 12 days from now, faithful souls in Armenian
sanctuaries across the world will be raising their voices in grateful praise of
our Lord’s birth—and we encourage you to be a part of that joyous celebration
in your local church.
And throughout the coming days, keep hold of what Christmas
is all about: God’s love for mankind; His gifts of peace and good will—embodied
in the birth of His precious son.
