This masterpiece was the first of hundreds of Kontakia (musical sermons) written by Saint Romanos the Melodist at the inspiration of the Virgin Mary. It takes the form of a dialogue between Mary and the three Magi, a Christmas meditation unmatched by anything that has ever been written since.
Make the Kontakion of the Nativity a treasured part of your personal Advent devotions, or your family's annual Christmas tradition.
