"Come, let us hymn the Mother of the Savior..."

Christ is born! Glorify Him!
Icon "All Creation Rejoices in Thee" (source)
  
Come, let us hymn the Mother of the Savior, who after giving birth, remained a Virgin. Rejoice, O animate City of our King and God, in whom Christ dwelt, having worked our salvation. Together with Gabriel we hymn you, together with the Shepherds we cry out: O Theotokos, intercede with Him Who took on flesh from you, that we be saved.
-Idiomelon of the Praises from Matins of Christmas

Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us! Amen!
