Ετοιμάζου Βηθλεέμ

Make ready, Bethlehem; O Eden, open to all.
O Ephratha, prepare, for soon the Tree of Life
will be brought forth from the Virgin in a cave.
Like paradise itself, she will bear the fruit divine,
and if we eat of it, we shall never die like Adam.
For Christ is born, and by His birth,
He will raise that image that fell so long ago.
