Oh, sons of men, oh, sons, when you run across something of greatness, something of great height, you those, who have big and sensitive hearts for those things that are great at sight on earth, then you are thrilled, you wonder, you rejoice when you go into a high place of church and full of adornments made by the hand of a skilled worker in order to attract those who pass by. Oh, here I am, the Lord, coming down on your way as word with power in it, full of greatness in the word, on the way of clouds coming down to you and speaking with you, and you do not startle as then when you see with your eyes something great on earth. Oh, behold what man means and behold what God means, for man rejoices, man marvels, man exalts himself within his mind and with the look of his mind and heart, and the Lord comes down, He humbles Himself and He suffers when He sees that man does no longer startle to want his meeting with Me, and he would not startle even if I were gentle and humble in his way, as I and only I am truly so, for only God is so in spirit and likeness, and man is not like that.
My birth in man is the greatest miracle over which man should rejoice so much; and he should rejoice much more than the shepherds on the hill who had heavenly guests before their huts on the night of My birth, singing to them a song of praise and a heavenly song and telling them about the birth of the Savior of the whole world, and after that they saw Me born in a manger at Bethlehem.
I can hardly make My work given to Me by the Father to accomplish, and I can do it with difficulty, as two thousand years ago, when I came, when I grew up and when I chose My disciples, and then when I went with them from place to place leaving signs and miracles behind us to draw the people to the Father, oh, and the burden of the lack of love from man was heavy for Me. Even My disciples hurt Me while I loved them so much and I was teaching them to stay close together, to bear the Lord on the earth, and they were cold, and some of them hurt Me and I endured them, as one of them even betrayed Me and sold Me to be given to death; then another one denied Me, and still another one did not believe in My resurrection, and I told them that My soul was exceedingly sorrowful, even to death, but they did not know why; they did not know that I was sorrowful because of them, because instead of watching for Me they fall asleep, and then I told them: «Sleep on now, and take your rest, for the ruler of the world is coming to take Me from near you!» (See also Matt. 26:45) I sent them to sleep, for I was sorrow because of their lack of power and watch for Me, and My pain was great, and it is still great now when I want to receive birth in man and man cannot do this. I am hurt when I see that man watches so much for his idol pleasures and does not fall asleep, and I want to appease him and I want to give him other joys, true joys.
I will make with the Father a heavenly spectacle on the earth, I will show the happiness to man and I will show him those who are righteous for it, so that the people may mourn because they did not know how to seek after their happiness and its dwelling places, from where no one would leave if one would be sent on the earth as I was sent to take on My shoulders misery and sigh, and by My sufferance to strengthen the dwelling place of those who are happy and heirs of the happiness, which they wanted in the time of their waiting for it, as only those who are happy on the earth with a beauty from heaven, only they learn and then reach there where they look with longing, and there happiness is without end. Amen.
I am coming down on earth as word and I call man to happiness and to its truth. I am stopping here, at the place of My descent, and I am staying with the glory of the word before those who have been coming with the carols of My birth on this day, and I want to give them My joy. Glory to God in the highest and peace on earth, and goodwill among people! I am also singing the song of the angels of My birth; I, the Lord, Who was born in a manger on the straw two thousand years ago, the One glorified by the angels and by all heavenly powers on the night of My birth; on the night when I did not have any place in the house of rest, but only outside on straw, warmed at the bosom of My mother Virgin and watched by the gentle Joseph and by the angels against the rage of Herod, who was seeking to take My life.
My word is My messenger and it is that which sends My word to those who are thirsty of heaven, My comfort to them on a day of holy feast, the feast of My birth on the earth. Amen, amen, amen.

[3] Old Style (O.S.) and New Style (N.S.) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Style_and_New_Style_dates) are sometimes used with dates to indicate either whether the start of the Julian year has been adjusted to start on 1 January (N.S.) even though documents written at the time use a different start of year (O.S.), or whether a date conforms to the Julian calendar (O.S.), formerly in use in many countries, rather than the Gregorian (N.S.)
The Church Calendar (in Romania) up to 1924 was the same as that of Nicaea, based on severe apostolic canons, but in 1924, the Scripture of the prophet Daniel was fulfilled: «the people made bold to even change the times», when the primate metropolitan - of that time, Miron Cristea, (Primate metropolitan = (in the past) a title given to the first metropolitan of a country; today it would be equal to that of a patriarch) introduced the Gregorian Calendar (Catholic) as result of a „pan-Orthodox” congress that took place in 1923, in Constantinople. At that congress, the patriarch of that time, Meletie, proposed the acceptance of the „revised” Julian Calendar, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_Julian_calendar) which was in accord with the Catholic one for a period up to the year 2800 and „it was allowing that all the feasts to be celebrated at the same time with those of other confessions”. «… and he shall wear out the saints of the Most High and he shall think to change the times and the law…» (Daniel 7/25), r.n.
