Every birth, every entrance of a new human being into the world, every life, is a miracle of miracles, a miracle that explodes all routine, for it marks the start of something unending, the start of a unique, unrepeatable human the beginning of a new person.
And with each birth, the world is itself in some sense created anew and given as a gift to this new human being to be his life, his path, his creation.
Fr. Alexander Schmemann, “On the Nativity of the Mother of God”
