Today the Virgin gives birth to Perfect Essence,*
and the earth offers a cave to the Inaccessible.*

Instead of ‘Holy God …’:

All you, who have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ, Alleluia!
All you, who have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ, Alleluia!

born in a cave.*
Behold a strange and wonderful mystery:*
the cave has become heaven,*
the Virgin a throne of the Cherubim,*
and the manger a noble place where Christ our God reposes.*
Wherefore let us praise and exalt Him!

The whole universe is today filled with joy, for Christ is born of a Virgin.
