Χριστός γεννᾶται δοξάσατε! Χριστός ἐξ οὐρανῶν ἀπαντήσατε! Χριστός ἐπί γῆς ὑψώθητε!


 Ὑψώθητε οἱ τεταπεινωμένοι


Ὑψώθητε οἱ πεπτωκότες


Ὑψώθητε οἱ περιφρονημένοι


Ὑψώθητε οἱ ἀπελπισμένοι


Ὑψώθητε οἱ ἀμελοῦντες


Ὑψώθητε οἱ ραθυμοῦντες


Ὑψώθητε οἱ πληγωμένοι ὑπό τοῦ διαβόλου


Ὑψώθητε οἱ πληγωμένοι ὑπό τῶν ἰδίων παθῶν


Ὑψώθητε οἱ πληγωμένοι ὑπό τοῦ κόσμου


Λάβετε ἰσχύν καί δύναμιν, ἀναθαρρήσατε ὅ,τι ἐτέχθη Χριστός ὁ Σωτήρ πάντων ἡμῶν.


Ἄσατε τῶ Κυρίω πᾶσα ἡ γῆ καί ἐν εὐφροσύνη ἀνυμνήσατε λαοί ὅτι δεδόξασται!


Καλά Χριστούγεννα και εὐλογημένο το νέο ἔτος!


Christ is born, glorify Him. Christ is from heaven, receive Him.  Christ is on earth, be lifted up;


Be lifted up, all you that have been humbled


Be lifted up, all you that have fallen


Be lifted up, all you that are despised


Be lifted up, all you that have despaired


Be lifted up, all you that have been neglectful


Be lifted up, all you that are indolent


Be lifted up, all you that are wounded by the devil


Be lifted up, all you that are wounded by your own passions


Be lifted up, all you that are wounded by the world


Receive power and might receive courage for Christ the Saviour is born for us.


Sing to the Lord, all the earth and praise Him with joy all people: For He has been glorified.


Have a blessed Nativity feast and a prosperous New Year!
