Nativity of Christ
Great Feast, Χριστούγεννα
The Nativity of our Lord and God and Saviour Jesus Christ, kept on December 25, celebrates the birth in the flesh of the Son of God from the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem. Laid in a manger because there was no room at the inn, the newborn King was glorified by angels, worshipped by shepherds, and honored with gifts by Magi from the East.

Adoration of the Magi
Saint, Προσκύνηση των Μάγων
On the day of the Nativity the Church also remembers the Magi from the East who, led by the star, came to Bethlehem and offered the newborn King gold, frankincense and myrrh. Warned in a dream, they returned to their own country by another way.
Shepherds of Bethlehem
Saint, Ποιμένες της Βηθλεέμ
The Church remembers the shepherds who were keeping watch over their flocks by night when the angel announced to them the birth of the Saviour. They came in haste to Bethlehem, found the Child lying in the manger, and returned glorifying God.
