the 1510th year from Moses, and the going forth of the
people of Israel from Egypt;

the 65th week according to the prophecy of Daniel;
in the 19th Olympiad;
the 752nd year from the founding of the City of Rome;

all the earth being at peace,
Jesus Christ, the Eternal God, and the son of the Eternal Father,
desirous to sanctify the world by His most merciful coming,
being conceived by the Holy Spirit, nine months after His conception
was born in Bethlehem of Judah, made man of the Virgin Mary.
THE NATIVITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO THE FLESH.
[From MAGNIFICAT Advent Companion 2002, p 41]
Today, the twenty-fifth day of December, unknown ages from the time when God
created the heavens and the earth and then formed man and woman in His own
image.
Several thousand years after the flood, when God made the rainbow shine forth
as a sign of the covenant.
Twenty-one centuries from the time of Abraham and Sarah; thirteen centuries
after Moses led the people of Israel out of Egypt.
Eleven hundred years from the time of Ruth and the Judges; one thousand years
from the anointing of David as king. In the sixty-fifth week according to the
prophecy of Daniel.
In the one hundred and ninety-fourth Olympiad; the seven hundred and fifty-
second year from the foundation of the city of Rome.
The forty-second year of the reign of Octavian Augustus; the whole world
being at peace, Jesus Christ, eternal God and Son of the eternal Father,
being conceived by the Holy Spirit, and nine months having passed since his
conception, was born in Bethlehem of Judea of the virgin Mary.
TODAY IS THE NATIVITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO THE FLESH.
