The First Day of Christmas


(The Nativity stained glass window is at St Leonard's Church, Mundford, Norfolk, UK)

Christmas Day,
the First Day of Christmas

The Nativity Prayer of Saint Augustine

Let the just rejoice,
For their jusifier is born.
Let the sick and infirm rejoice,
For their Savior is born.
Let the captives rejoice,
For their Redeemer is born.
Let the slaves rejoice,
For their Master is born.
Let free men rejoice,
For their Liberator is born.
Let all Christians rejoice,
For Jesus Christ is born.

St. Augustine of Hippo (354 - 440 A.D.)

(The devotional entries for the Twelve Days of Christmas begins on Christmas Day and continue through Epiphany, January 6th. They are offered by Pastor Charles)
