Quote of the Day

Magnify, my soul, her who is more honorable and glorious than the hosts above. I behold a mystery strange and wondrous. The cave is heaven, the Virgin is the throne of the Cherubim, the manger of the place where the Incomprehensible is laid, Christ our God, Whom we magnify with song.
Byzantine Menaea, Feast of the Nativity, Canon at matins, Ninth Ode (8th cent.)
