Russian Christmas

Merry Christmas to our brothers and sisters who follow the Julian calendar.  Blessed Christmas to the Russian and Greek Church, and especially the Church suffering in the Middle East, Ethiopia and Egypt.  Pray especially for the Copts who were martyred in a drive-by shooting while leaving church this Christmas.

Troparion: It is truly meet to bless Thee, O Theotokos, the ever blessed and most immaculate, and the Mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim. Thee, who without defilement gavest birth to God the Word, the true Mother of God, we magnify Thee.
