Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"Gaudete, gaudete! Christus est natus
 Ex Maria virgine, gaudete!
 
 Deus homo factus est
 Natura mirante,
 Mundus renovatus est
 A Christo regnante.
 
 Gaudete, gaudete! Christus est natus
 Ex Maria virgine, gaudete!"
  -- from "Gaudete" (anonymous), published in 1582 but suspected to be somewhat older

[Merry Christmas to most^[1] others of my faith, as well as everyone who celebrates this as a secular holiday!]

[1] I won't forget the old-calendar Orthodox folks in (almost) two weeks.
