The  Christmas  Troparion
 
    Thy  Nativity,  O  Christ  our  God, 
has  shown  to  the  world  the  light  of  wisdom  for  by  it, 
those  who  worshipped  the  stars   were  taught  by  a  star  to  adore  thee,
The  sun  of   righteousness,
And  to  know  thee,
  the  orient  from  on  high  O  Lord,
  glory  to  thee!
