I know. It is a liturgical thing - very good - very nice - very lovely - all of that. Awesome! You will hear them recited, repeated, chanted, sung - now until Christmas - and others talking about them as if they had never read scripture or heard such words and attributes of the God-man uttered by mere mortals ever before. Very nice, very good, very lovely - all of that.
.
Seriously, the antiphons are just awesome and beautiful - truly... Indispensable during the preparation for Christmas. Nevertheless, liturgical bloggers, liturgists, and choirmasters tend to carry on about them - almost to excess. If perchance some cleric or liturgist corners you and expounds on and on over the extraordinary beauty of the antiphons, just tell them, "I know! Oooo! I know, I know!"
.
If these people did not carry on so dramatically - a soul just might be able to discover the spiritual beauty all on their own - as the Holy Spirit wills. "The wind blows where it will, and thou hearest its voice, but knowest not whence it comes and where it goes: thus is every one that is born of the Spirit." - John 3:8
