Nativity Prayer-
The feast day of Your birth resembles You, Lord
Because it brings joy to all humanity.
Old people and infants alike enjoy Your day.
Your day is celebrated
from generation to generation.
Kings and emperors may pass away,
And the festivals to commemorate them soon lapse.
But Your festival
will be remembered until the end of time.
Your day is a means and a pledge of peace.
At Your birth heaven and earth were reconciled,
Since You came from heaven to earth on that day
You forgave our sins and wiped away our guilt.
You gave us so many gifts on the day of Your birth:
A treasure chest of spiritual medicines for the sick;
Spiritual light for the blind;
The cup of salvation for the thirsty;
The bread of life for the hungry.
In the winter when trees are bare,
You give us the most succulent spiritual fruit.
In the frost when the earth is barren,
You bring new hope to our souls.
In December when seeds are hidden in the soil,
The staff of life springs forth from the virgin womb
St. Ephraim the Syrian
Rejoice in the spirit of the Holiday Season
Let this bracelet be a festive reminder of the celebration of Our Lord's Birthday and celebrate like angels do
I created it inspired by that special celebration of Our Lord's birthday being surrounded by angels celebrating
Using a very unique medal of Virgin Mary with Baby Jesus in Christmas colors and surrounded by angels
