Everything around us looks the same
and yet everything has changed,
the month of November has come again
and a year weighs on us.

How many friends do they have? “go away”;
απ’ this vain world;
and yet the sun rises;
and brings forth the universe;

The world moves with wishes,
with prayers he receives Grace,
with strengthening exercises,
with love Excess
and Brings forth Life.

On the seventeenth of November,
we start preparation,
to find the month of December,
one for every Greek “manger”.

On the twenty-fifth of December,
all of Greece one manger,
every inhabitant of the Country,
saint in litany.

Let Emmanuel come to feel,
Greece His Home
and from here to bless,
to the ends of the earth.

Amen. Amen. Amen.

Loving god, Philadelphus, Philanthropist.
