Come, then, let us observe the Feast. Truly wondrous is the whole
chronicle of the Nativity. For this day the ancient slavery is ended, the devil
confounded, the demons take to flight, the power of death is broken, paradise
is unlocked, the curse is taken away, sin is removed from us, error driven out,
truth has been brought back, the speech of kindliness diffused, and spreads on
every side, a heavenly way of life has been implanted on the earth, angels
communicate with men without fear, and men now hold speech with angels.
St. John Chrysostom
On the Nativity
