At the Aposticha, the stichera of the resurrection.
Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen
Glory..., in Tone VI—
Thy birthgiving hath become the memorial of priests, the dominion and gladness of kings, O Thou Who lovest mankind, and, rejoicing therein, we say, Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name!
After the Blessing of the Loaves, the troparion, “Thy nativity, O Christ our God...,” twice, and that of the saints, in Tone II, once—
Now and ever..., in the same tone—
Today is the invisible Nature joined to man through the Virgin. Today is the infinite Essence wrapped in swaddling clothes in Bethlehem. Today by a star doth God lead the magi to worship, foretelling His three-day burial, as it were, in their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. To Him let us sing: O Christ God, Who becamest incarnate of the Virgin, save Thou our souls!
O Joseph, proclaim glad tidings to David, the ancestor of God, for thou hast seen a Virgin give birth; with the shepherds didst thou give glory; with the magi didst thou worship; by an angel wast thou instructed. Entreat Christ God, that He save our souls!
Where the all-night vigil is not served: at Compline, after the Trisagion, the kontakion of the ancestors of God; Glory..., Now and ever..., the kontakion of the feast.
