    Christ is Born! Glory to Him!

    The upper part of the image describes the story ofthe Christs birth found on all Nativity Icons. In addition,the story of the magi is told more fully: not only are theyshown following the star to Bethlehem, but also shownworshipping the Christ-child and bearing gifts. This sceneclearly takes place in a separate building, not the cave ofJesus birth, which tallies with the Biblical accounts indi-cating that the Magi appeared up to 2 years after the Nativ-ity. As in most Nativity icons, the three Magi consist ofone youth (unbearded), one middle-aged man (brownbeard) and one elderly man (white beard), reminding us ofthe universality of the Gospel, which is for all people Gentile and Jewand of all ages. To the right of the cavein which Christ was born, the three Magi are shown afterworshipping the Christ-child, and being warned by an an-gel not to return to Herod. To the far right of the Icon, thethree Magi are shown once again on horseback, hurryingaway from Bethlehem after heeding the angels words.

    The reason for the angels warning was becauseHerod wished to kill the young child Jesus, as he feared

    the Infant was the longed-for Saviour Who would over-throw the kings corrupt regime. Upon hearing of theMagis secret escape, the enraged Herod ordered a massa-cre of all local boys under two years of age, so that amongthem Jesus would be killed.

    Amid this slaughter of the innocents, John theBaptists father, Zechariah, was also sought his son wasprophesied to be the forerunner and Baptist of Christ.When Zechariah would not reveal Johns whereabouts, hewas murdered between the Temple and the altar, as de-scribed later by Jesus (Mt. 23:35). A composite of thiswhole sorry scene is depicted along the bottom of the icon.

    Above the slain body of Zechariah, a woman weeps ovthe swaddled body of an infant. This is Rachel, and timage is a fulfilment of Jeremiahs prophecy as describby St Matthew: Then was fulfilled what was spoken Jeremiah the prophet, saying: A voice was heard Ramah, lamentation, weeping, and great mourning, Rachweeping for her children, refusing to be comforted, bcause they are no more (Mt 2:18). To the left of Rachelsmall house containing two weeping mothers complethe scene, and reminds us that like their children they tsuffered their own form of martyrdom.

    Next to this house of mourning, the Righteous Jseph is shown being told in a dream to flee Bethlehem fEgypt. This is how the holy family escape the soldiers Herod, and this flight into Egypt is shown prominently the right of the icon; the river Nile runs darkly beneathem. According to St. Matthew, the family stayed Egypt until Herod died, and so then returned, fulfilling tprophecy of the Messiah: Out of Egypt have I called mSon (Hosea 11:1). The Flight into Egypt shows Ma

    Christ, Joseph and James, the Brother of the Lord, all caping. As mentioned in a previous post, the Icon of tNativity draws on the Protoevangelium of James as oneits sources, and it is from this writing that we learn that James was the elder step-brother of Jesus, being the sonthe widower Joseph from his previous marriage. This aof Joseph in protecting the Christ-child is the final scenethis Icon, and one of the last acts of Joseph recorded Holy Scripture. As such, this is how we honour and member the Righteous Joseph, rather than as the man bewith doubts outside the cave also shown on the NativIcon.

    he enchantment and wonder of the feast has ar-rived! And its far from over; in fact it has justbegun. The Byzantine Church celebrates the feast

    until February 2nd (Gregorian Calendar). The stores arehaving their sell-out sales, decorations are coming down,

    no more Christmas music on the radio, and TV specials areending. We, on the other hands, are just beginning! Wecontinue our Kolady/Carols. We continue to greet eachother with the greeting: Christ is born! and the answerGlorify Him!

    I recall celebrating a Christmas Liturgy in Bethle-hem many years ago. It was July, the heat was oppressive,and we joined in singing carols at the place of Christsbirth. Everyday was, and I still hope is, Christmas Daythere. Carols and the Christmas Liturgy were celebrated atthe place of Christs birth everyday. In order to enter theChurch of the Nativity, pilgrims must bend down and passthrough a four-foot-tall entrance. It doesnt matter who

    you are, rich or poor, pope or politician, all are required tobow low to enter the place where Christ humbled Himselfto be born on earth.

    Bethlehem means the City of Bread. And it is acity of so many contradictions. Within recent years it hasbeen torn apart by warring factions. Refugees, soldiersand civilians occupy the Nativity Church. The spirit of thecity seems to have died from oppression and injustice. Al-though the city where the Prince of Peace was born nolonger knows lasting peace, there is hope for its future.

    The Feast of the Nativity is, like the place where ithappened, full of many contradictions. We would like tostay in front of the icons and cribs and be filled with thesongs of the angels. We see the wonder and excitement ofchildren as they open presents. The lights of the tress anddecorations do give us a sense of inner peace. We so needit. In the background is the fact that we celebrate the feastunder the cloud of an Orange Alert with the possibility(and fear) that some part of our nation can be struck withan act of terrorism.

    Todays Gospel reading is from Matthew 2:13-23.It brings together all hopes and fears of all the years.There is a tyrannical king who seeks to kill the InfantChrist. The Holy Family must flee for its life during the

    night. This morning we read of a detachment of soldunder orders to slaughter all little infant boys. Cries ofguished mothers are heard. All of this with the backdof our Christmas decorations and lights. A contradictYes, but part of the hopes and fears of this Feast.

    We have still Herod with us. He has many names faces: recently it has been a Hitler, Stalin, and SaddHussein. They eventually all pass on into history. Infant Child survives them all.

    In Ramah a voice is heard-great lamentation -Rachel weeping, there is no comfort for her, her childare no more (Matthew 2:18) this city of Ramah isworld in which we live. It has been scarred by 9/11,ghanistan, Iraq. And abortion, abuse, military forces,famine are still slaughtering children. To the questioto how can goodness survive when evil has such an arsof military and political power, we must turn to the Mtery of the Nativity. God through Jeremiah speaks: c

    your mourning, wipe the tears from your eyes. The soryou have shown shall have its reward says the Lord. Tis hope for your future (Jeremiah 31:16)

    Joseph rose and took the Child and His mothenight and departed for Egypt (Matt. 2:14). A night-tescape to a foreign country is part of the Christmas stNo information is given to us about its length, or what pened to the family. Did they experience being illegalmigrants? There was certainly the experience of prejudlearning a new language. There was the experience ofing in a hostile environment, hostile to their way of and religion. But there is hope. Matthew turns toProphet Hosea. Hosea tells us of a God Who alwshows mercy and never abandons His children.

    For this Holy Family and for all of us who expence the fear of terrorism, the pain of life, there are words of God the Father: I foster them like one wraises an infant to his cheeks. Yet, though I stooped to my children, they did not know that I am the Healer.

    This is the God Who loves His people affectately. This is God the Father of Jesus, Who cared for Hin His infancy. Through the Nativity of Christ, God ofus a hope that God the Father will lift us up out of darkness.

    O little town of Bethlehem - the hopes and fearsof all the years are met in thee tonight

    CHRISTMAS PASTORAL MESSAGE OF THE UKRAINIA

    CATHOLIC HIERARCHY IN THE UNITED STATE

    n those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustusordering a census of the whole worldAnd so Joseph

    too went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea,to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem... (Luke2:1,4)

    What an astounding contrast presents itself to us inthe first verses of the second chapter of the Gospel of Luke!The Imperial Emperor of the Roman Empire, Augustus, themost powerful man of his age, gives a command, and every-one, even the most insignificant and powerless individual, iscompelled to obey. A census was deemed necessary in or-der to update the tax rolls, which would provide money tomaintain the army and construct the magnificent roads, tem-

    ples, palaces and stadiums that were the glory of the RomanEmpire and for which the Emperor was ultimately responsi-

    ble.How trivial, in comparison, is the life

    of the humble little family from Nazareth the carpenter Jo- seph and his wifeMary, who was with child that, in obe-dience to the imperial command, set out tohave themselves enrolled in thetax registry of Josephs home-town of Bethle- hem. They areso insignificant that there is no

    palace at their disposal whenthey arrive, not even a place inthe local inn. They have to make do

    with a cold and damp stable for themother to give birth.What a con- trast indeed! Be-

    cause today we are celebrating, not theemperor Augustus enthroned in luxury in his palace, but theseemingly insignificant birth of the baby Jesus in the poorstable of Bethlehem. And this child, born in a shabby townin an obscure and distant province of the Roman Empire,shortly before he is crucified, will say to the representativeof the Roman emperor, the governor Pontius Pilate, Youwould have no power over me if it had not been given to youfrom above. (Jn. 19:11)

    It is not the emperor who is lord of the world, butthe child in the manger. The names of the emperors, like

    those of other great and powerful men and women of thisworld, have long since passed away and have been forgot-ten. Yet everywhere on earth, the birth of this child is stillremembered and celebrated.

    What the angel declared to the poor shepherds in thefields near Bethlehem on the night of Jesus birth resonatesin our hearts even today: I proclaim to you good news ofgreat joy that will be for all the people. For this day inDavids city, a savior has been born to you who is Messiahand Lord. (Lk. 2:10-1) The words this day still hold true.The Savior, the Messiah and Lord is born this day everyday in our world in the hearts of those who look to him.

    Ever since this child was born, he has never ceased to donstrate his rule, not with tanks and rockets and armiesthose that encompass the Holy Land today, but withmessage, which was sung by the angels and warmednight of poverty and spiritual cold into which he was bGlory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to thoswhom his favor rests. (Lk. 2:14)

    Against all appearances and expectations, the poof love is still greater than that of weapons, and the pemakers are the ones to be praised, not those who perpetviolence. As we write this pastoral greeting a few sweeks before the Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord,

    pounding of rockets and the threat of all-out war are again threatening to drown out the sound of Christmas ols in Nativity Square in Bethlehem and throughout

    Holy Land as they have, unfortunately, many times inpast. Has the birth of the child who is Gods Son and is to reconcile humanity with God, somehow not brothe promised peace? This seems to be the sobering fact

    However, at the time of Jesus birth, just as topeace seemed like a distant dream as well. Yet, even tthere were those who found peace gazing into the facthis child: firstly, the shepherds who came with their flfrom nearby to adore him, then the Magi, who came frogreat distance following a star in order to give him homthen later, the elders in the Temple in Jerusalem who wastounded by the words of wisdom coming from the lipthis wondrous child, and his mother, who, observing

    kept all these things in her heart. (Lk. 2:51) Indeed mare they who, down through the centuries until tohave found peace andsolace in an in-nocent childwhere the richand powerful see only weakness

    poverty. Thus it has remained until this As Jesus tells us, those who th em se lbecome as childrenand will find p

    beside the crib of the divine child, and then, themselveable to give peace to others.

    Our prayer for you on this Feast of the NativitOur Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ is that, kneeling atfoot of the crib where the Prince of Peace lays, we maybecome as children under his loving gaze. May the stual peace that enveloped the manger in Bethlehem, elope our hearts as well. May we always be peacemawithin our family circle, in our parishes, in our schools

    places of work, and everywhere in our society. May grant to you and to your loved ones, and to our brotherssisters in our beloved Ukraine and scattered throughoutworld, good health, peace, joy and contentment. A BleChristmas!

    MALANKA is mostly a rural feast butlately it has begun to make inroadsinto cities as well. Basically, Malankais celebrated or performed, orwhatever other verb would be properto use in accordance to a set pat-

    tern which differs in certain details indifferent parts of Ukraine.

    The celebrations of the Feast ofMalanka begin on the night of January14 (or December 31st if the celebra-tion takes place on the Gregorian Cal-endar this, however, is a rarity). Thecentral character in the celebrations isMalanka, a girl of many talents andof exceptional beauty. Who actuallythis Malanka girl was, and what shedid to earn a public celebration, no-body knows for sure. All my enquires

    produced little result except forsome information that I obtained fromsome old-timers according to whomthe day of January 13 is a feast day ofSt Malania the Roman Martyr. Butevidently, it was an ancient paganholiday of uncertain origin which wasadjusted to the Christian ritual.

    There were times when Malankawas celebrated in virtually all the vil-lages and towns of Ukraine but thesedays only some places have managedto maintain the traditional Malanka

    celebrations. And even, as Ive said,Malanka has begun to gain in popular-ity.

    I think it is in western Ukrainethat the Malanka traditions have beenpreserved best. Malanka is also calledthere Pereberiya and has acquired fea-tures of a true folk carnival. The cli-max of Malanka celebrations is best tobe watchedor participated ininthe city of Chernivtsi. Hundreds if notthousands of people wearing masquer-ade costumes of Devils, Gypsies,Bears, Goats and other creatures pourout into the streets engaging the pass-ers-by and spectators in their boister-ous and sometimes wild fun. The par-ticipants and spectators let themselvesgo but there is never any violenceor violations of public order to suchan extent that it would require the po-lice interference.

    According to ethnographersthough, the most interesting celebra-

    tions of Malanka are held in the townof Vashkivtsi, in the Land ofBukovyna. In my humble opinion,Malanka in the village of Horoshevoin the Land of Ternopilshchyna is asgood. In recent years, both Vashkivtsiand Horoshevo have begun to attract alot of tourists, both from Ukraine andeven from abroad, who come to see

    Malanka celebrated there.As far as I am concerned, there are

    many places worth going to see Ma-lanka celebrated. In every one of themyoull see something different. In thevillage of Horbivtsi, for example, avery old tradition of horse visits hasbeen preserved. Two young men,wearing the horse costumes, severalother people posing as warriors,Malanka herself and a band of musi-cians go from house to house, greet-ing the hosts; if they come across an

    unmarried girl of marriageable age,they engage her in dancing, and keepdancing until she buys her freedomwith candies, cookies or money.

    The role of Malanka is usuallyplayed by a witty young man of acheerful disposition. He chooses awoman from the village whom he willmimic or parody, and then he does itin such a way that everybody immedi-ately recognizes the original who is

    In some villages of the Land of Vinnychchyna, peocook a dish which they call malanka and bake ritbread which is called malanka and vasyl. Durthe celebrations, the villagers go around their gardat night asking the trees to bring more fruit. It is lieved that the plants understand human speech ding the Malanka night, and animals can talk. Incidtally, if you do not treat your pets well, they may cplain to God about the mistreatment during the lanka too. So beware!

    The old man, one ofthe personages inte-gral to the Malankaperformances. Thisone is from the townof Vashkivtsi in cen-tral Ukraine. The oldman is obliged to bethe host of all thefestivities.

    parodied.Malanka is a clumsy girl

    inadvertently overturns things knocks them down, drops thispills water; she also does some posterous things like whitewashthe furniture instead of the pich, litters, and does other things that should avoid doing. All this is don

    encourage us to be careful and gent, and thus avoid being a laughstock.

    Though the basic moves in Malanka performance are apprmately the same, no matter in whpart of Ukraine the celebration taplace, there is a lot of improvisatoo, and watching the Malaperformance you never know wto expect next. Malanka performanstart with the coming of the dark. first to be paid a visit are girls who

    of the marriageable age; but households where someone has within the last year are avoided. everything must be done within its of decency so as not to offendhosts. After the songs are sung jokes are told, the Malanka perfoers are treated to food and drink.the Malanka company departs, gwishes are exchanged and sometifireworks are set off.

    but from the wicked and sinful. AHe comes not only from Jews, from Gentiles. The names of the fwomen specifically mentioned in Matthew's list-- Tamar, Rahab, Ruand the wife of Uriah (Bathshebawere noted, not to say notorioGentiles, including one of Davown wives, the mother of Solom

    The point to be seen here is obeautifully made in an early Chtian hymn quoted in the Bible in second letter to Timothy:

    This is the wonderful witness of genealogies of Jesus: If we are failess, the Lord God remains faithfufor he cannot deny Himself!

    There are many purposes for pre-senting the genealogy of Jesus in thegospels, chief among which is the af-firmation that Jesus, being in truth theSon of God, as all the gospels testify,has come "in the flesh" as a real hu-man being. This affirmation was criti-cally important in the time of theapostles and the first Christian gen-

    erations because, unlike today, thetemptation of the early period ofChristianity was not to deny Jesus'divinity, but to deny His real and au-thentic humanity.

    As a matter of historical fact, thefirst Christian heretics were thosewho said that Jesus was some sort ofdivine being (how this was explainedhad many variations and versions)who only appeared to be a true man,but was not really one since "fleshand blood" were taken to be intrinsi-

    cally degrading if not downright evil.Thus the apostle Paul had to insist thatin Jesus, who belongs to the Jews"according to the flesh" (Rom 9:5),the "whole fulness of deity dwellsbodily" (Col 2:9), and that it is thesame Jesus who died and was buriedand raised in the flesh as a real man,who is Messiah and Lord.

    The genealogies in the gospels of Saints Matthew andLuke are made to and from Joseph. This is not to give theimpression that Jesus came from Joseph's seed. Both gos-pels are absolutely clear on this point. Jesus is born fromthe Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit. The pointis rather that Joseph is Jesus' father according to the law,and it is from the father that one's lawful descent is to betraced. Jesus' legal father is "Joseph, son of David," thelegal husband of Mary (Mt 1:20).

    One other important point is made in listing the humangenerations which led to the birth of Jesus. This is the factthat God is faithful to His promises even though His cho-sen people are often not faithful. Among the people fromwhom Jesus came are both sinners and heathens. In aword, Jesus comes not only from the righteous and holy,

    he gospel reading for the Divine Liturgy on the Sunday before Christmas is "the genealogy of JeChrist, the son of David, the son of Abraham," taken from the gospel according to St. Matthew. This nealogy lists the generations of people from Abraham to David, to the Babylonian captivity of the peoof Israel, to the birth of Jesus. It is a selected genealogy, ending in the appearance of "Joseph, the h

    band of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ" (Mt 1:16). It differs from the genealogy presentedSt. Luke's gospel which begins with Jesus "being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph," and goes back all the wnot simply to Abraham but to Adam (Lk 3:23-38).
