Christ is Risen!
Christos Anesti!
Khristos Voskrese!
Hristos a Inviat!
Al-Masih Qam!
Kristuusaq Unguirtuk!

(The next to last is Arabic and the last one is another traditional Orthodox language--Yupik! Our mission, another mission and two parishes in Kansas are sending support to a Yupik seminarian at St. Herman Seminary.)

I forgot to mention in my above post that the triangle in the story is directly above Bethlehem. From here

"..on May 5, something even more spectacular will happen. The bright planets Mars, Saturn and Venus will group together to form a perfect equilateral triangle in the western sky. This dazzling configuration will be visible almost everywhere on Earth. In the Middle East, this pyramid-shaped specter will hang directly above Bethlehem.

Oddly enough, more than 2,000 years ago, this same grouping of planets may have caught the attention of the Biblical Magi. On April 1, 2 B.C., the planets Mars, Saturn and Venus came together to form a perfect equilateral triangle over the city of Bethlehem."

I guess if you're even a little superstitious, this whole thing along with the Church of the Nativity thing happening today is all kind of wondrous.
