“For
Balaam laid before us precisely
the
meaning of the words he spoke in prophecy,
when
he said that a Star would dawn,6
a
Star that quenches all prophecies and auguries;
a
Star that resolves the parables of the wise,
and
their sayings and their riddles,
a
Star far more brilliant than the star
which
has appeared, for he is the maker of all the stars,
of
whom it was written of old, ‘From Jacob, there dawns
a
little Child, God before the ages.’”
--
Saint Romanos the Melodist
