This day in small town Bethlehem there was an unknown event - the Son Divine was born in the world of Bogomladenets. Jesus Christ was born in the supernatural image from Maiden Maria whom we name since then Bogoroditsej.

Having come on the earth, He has not been met by honour, eminence and riches. It at all did not have a cradle as all children, did not have also a haven - He was born in the country, in a cave and has been put in a day nursery where put a forage for animals.

The first visitors of the divine baby were do not reign also grandees, and simple shepherds whom Angela has announced a Christmas: «I announce to you great pleasure which will be to all people: for to you in the city of Davidovom the Savior whom Christ the Lord is nowadays was born! And here to you a sign: you will find the Baby in the veils, lying in a day nursery» (Lk 2,10-12).

Shepherds the first have hastened to bow to the newborn Savior. At this time with gifts to the Tsar of the World there were magicians from the east (magicians are ancient wise men). They waited that the earth the great Tsar of the World soon should нa come, and the wonderful star has specified them a way to Jerusalem.

Magicians have brought to the Baby gifts: gold, an incense and смирну. These gifts had deep sense: gold have brought as the Tsar in the form of a tribute, an incense as to God, and смирну as to the person who should die (quiet during those far times помазывали died).

But really so the born Christ has been met? The sacred church sings that all creation of Bozhie met the Savior: angels have brought to It singing, magicians - gifts, pastors have met the Baby, the earth has prepared a cave-den, and Maiden Maria became Mother of the Lord.

The Christmas finishes a forty-day Christmas post (St. Chetyredesjatnitsa), on the eve of a holiday the strict post is observed. After Christmas there comes a Christmas-tide - sacred days or 12 days during which the holiday is celebrated.
