Christmas Day is a principal feast celebrating the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. Holy Eucharist will be said with the Gospel from John and the invitation to meet Jesus in the gifts of communion.

The Collect: Almighty God, you have given your only-begotten Son to take our nature upon him, and to be born [this day] of a pure virgin: Grant that we, who have been born again and made your children by adoption and grace, may daily be renewed by your Holy Spirit; through our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom with you and the same Spirit be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

Revised Common Lectionary: Isaiah 52:7-10; Psalm 98; Hebrews 1:1-4,(5-12); John 1:1-14
