The bells were
ringing for the most joyful celebration of Christians, Christmas, and the
hearts of all the people poured out numerous wishes like a fragrant aroma for a
Merry Christmas and many happy years of peace and joy!
The same wishes
were repeated once more, after the Christmas Mass, to the spiritual father of a
group of young children, who were visiting the monastery of the Archangels, up
the mountain, to celebrate the birth of the God-man Jesus Christ.
-May God give
you, my beloved children, many happy and blessed years. I wish you may also
embrace the sweet Holy Infant of Bethlehem, as those blessed shepherds embraced
Him, when they visited Him one cold night in the cave where He was born.
-We would very much
like, our reverend father, for you to talk to us about that night and the
miracle of the birth of our Christ!
