"During the later periods of Roman history, sun worship gained in importance and ultimately led to what has been called a 'solar monotheism.' Nearly all the gods of the period were possessed of Solar qualities. The feast of Sol and Victus (open unconquered Sun) on December 25th was celebrated with great joy, and eventually this date was taken over by the Christians as Christmas, the birthday of Christ."
I remember singing this as a child. I had a young voice back then. when I reallised what yiu were singing, I joined in. (I'm more of a baritone, today, and not a very good one). But, you brought tears to my eyes, Dyakuyu. =Stefan=

Нова радість стала,яка не бувала,
Над вертепом звізда ясна світу засіяла.
Де Христос родився з Діви воплотився,
Як чоловік пеленами убого вповився.
Пастушки з ягнятком перед тим дитятком
На коліна припадають. Христа Бога прославляють...
