Two Thousand Five Hundred and Thirteen years after the great flood,
Two Thousand Twenty years after the era of Abraham,
One Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty years from the exodus from Egypt,
One Thousand years after the rule of King David,
Nine Hundred Seventy Two years after King Solomon's temple,
Seven Hundred Fifty Seven years from the Foundation of Rome,
One Hundred Years after the birth of Julius Caesar,
In the 184th Olympiad,
Under the rule of Augustus Caesar,
In the reign of King Herod,
in a lowly manger in Bethlehem upon a midnight clear,

unto us a Child is born.

God bless us, every one.
