In anticipation of the Nativity of Christ, the Orthodox Church opens its doors for today's divine services, heralding the fulfillment of the mystery of the Incarnation.
"Let us experience the Nativity of Christ during the solemn services, so that we may truly welcome the Son of God, who descends from heaven for us and for our salvation", Metropolitan Gregory of Vratsa said in an interview with BNR.
The cleric reminds that the Church prepares us for this feast with a 40-day fast, so that we can cleanse our souls and bodies, understand its essence and rejoice.
''The festive decorations, the gifts for the children and the abundant meal are the conclusion, and the beginning is to be in the temple of the Lord. This is enough to prepare us to realize the essence of the feast. Christ must be welcomed. Let us rejoice for the descent of our Lord and Savior", said Metropolitan Gregory of Vratsa.
