Greetings dear brothers in the Lord,
Christ is Born! Glorify Him!
Below you will see links for the Holy Nativity Encyclicals from His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros.
At the direction of His Eminence, please do the following:
Christmas Eve Liturgy – Read the Encyclical of His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros only.

Conveying to you the paternal blessings and love of our beloved Archbishop for a beautiful celebration of the Holy Nativity of our Lord and Saviour together with my own brotherly love and respect, I remain,
Faithfully yours in the Lord,
