"He lay in a manger, a child newly born: tiny in body, abject in poverty.
But in this Child something great lay hidden, of which these, the
first-fruits of the Gentiles, had learned, not from earthly rumor, but from
heavenly revelation. Hence we have: We have seen His Star in the East. They

prefiguring those who walk by faith, yet still desire to see."
St. Augustine of Hippo.
"His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun.
And men shall be blessed in Him; All nations shall call Him blessed."
Psalm 72:17
