The Nativity of Christ
The nativity icons often are on black background; the only icon I know that is written that way.
Beautiful. Merry Christmas!
The Jewish day begins at sundown and goes to sunset the next day, and Jesus was born in a manger, because there was no room in the Inn...
Jesus is the Light of the World, without him there is only Darkness. Merry Christmas.
1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.
6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light”.
The Gospel of John
(Spoken before the recessional hymn in my church's Christmas Eve service)
No, we don't notice. According to my quick examination of sunrise/sunset times over the last week, the daylight period increases by less than one minute from December 21 to December 28.
The sun continues to rise later each day; however, it is also setting later, by a slightly longer increment.
“Breath of Heaven”, (Mary’s Song).
A good and blessed Merry Christmas
Remember that Jesus was born at night and when 33 years later, He rises, it is again during the middle of the night.
