lighted

a

fire

,

and

were

rejoicing

greatly

,

there

appeared

to

them

the

hosts

of

heaven

praising

and

celebrating

God

Most

High

.

And

while

the

shepherds

the

,

the

cave

was

at

time

made

like

a

temple

of

the

upper

world

,

since

both

heavenly

and

earthly

voices

glorified

and

magnified

God

on

account

of

the

birth

of

the

Lord

Christ

.

And

when

that

Hebrew

woman

the

manifestation

of

those

miracles

,

she

thanked

God

,

saying

:

give

Thee

thanks

,

,

the

God

of

Israel

,

because

mine

eyes

have

seen

the

birth

of

the

Saviour

of

the

world

.
