The Whole Life of Christ

The whole life of Christ was a continuall Passion; others die Martyrs,
but Christ was born a Martyr . . . His birth and his death were but one
continuall act, and his Christmas-day and his Good Friday, are but the
evening and morning of one and the same day.


                                      John Donne, “Christmas Sermon,” Dec 25, 1626
