Bethlehem has opened Eden: come, and let us see.
We have found joy in secret: come,
and let us take possession
of the paradise that is within the cave.
There the unwatered Root has appeared,
from which forgiveness flowers forth:
there is found the undug Well,
whence David longed to drink of old.
There the Virgin has borne a Babe,
and made the thirst
of Adam and David to cease straightway.
Therefore let us hasten to this place
where now is born a young Child,
the pre-eternal God.

(from Nativity Canticle Six, The Festal Menaion)

Cool. Straight out of the Suffering Servant tradition (Is. 53:2)

Thanks POW!
